Hi all again and welcome Pablo.
I have´ve been searching some info about Ardiles downing. Do you remember that Hale and Penfold reported to be guided towards more than one Dagger? Well I think that found an explanantion:
One of the Daggers (1st Lt Román) from "Torno" flight (the section that attacked Arrow, Glamorgan and Alacrity south of Stanley) had radio problems and also fuel transfer trouble fro m his external drop tanks. This made him to go up in order to save fuel. It seems that Argentinean Air Force radar at Stanley detected a Sea Harrier CAP trying to intercept him and vectored two CAPs of Dagger towards them. One of them were the "Fortin" flight (Donadille and Senn) who pursuited the british CAP until get them to abort the prosecution of Román plane who, due to his radio problems, didn´t know what was happening. But probably, Lt Ardiles plane, from "Rubio" flight, who was the only member of his CAP (his leader had mechanical problems before taking off) was also advertised to intercept the CAp and got into fight against Penfold-Hale. The timetibles of all actions match. "Rubio" was on the islands when "Torno" attacked and "Fortin" arrived a bit later.
Perhaps the other Dagger was Lt Román.
"Fierro" CAP, by a solitary Dagger (Cap Díaz) from San Julián Air base was flown earlier in the morning (FAA webpage has an error about the timetible), so couldn´t be the other Dagger.
Pablo it could be great that the then Major Luis Puga, would participate in the forum. He flown two antishipping mission. In the second was downed.
In the first one, on 21st may he was one of the members of Laucha flight together 1st Lt Román and 1st Lt Mario Callejo. Callejo scaped by miracle from the Sea Harriers that downed Puga on 24th may. He was returning after attacking in San Carlos as a member from "Plata" flight (the previous section to "Oro") and just passed by the same place where two Sea Harriers had just downed all "Oro" members. He was chased some miles but flying supersonically could evade.
On 21st may mission, 1st Lt Román and Major Puga attacked HMS Ardent just before the first trio of A-4Qs from Argentine Navy and after a previous Dagger section that had damaged the ship that was in flames at the moment. Callejo attacked in solitary HMS Brilliant hitting her with his guns causing some injuried and damaging the ship´s CIC.
Puga couldn´t drop his bombs for a technical failure and Román failed.
Edmund, do you think Ward really had an oportunity to chase Sánchez on 8th june?
