Goose Green

Lt Nick Taylor was flying No2 of a three ship SHAR from HMS HERMES over Goose Green airfield on 4 May 82 and was taken out by radar guided AAA. The lead reported later that it failed to lock on him and shifted onto Nick. I believe it was 20mm AAA but there is an Argentine report with more detail. Nick was the first Fleet Air Arm pilot to be lost in the campaign.
