Hi VP-H
That was Captain Garcia Cuerva , low on Fuel talking to the Air Force radar , he did not have enough fuel to return to continent and wanted to make it to the airport and save the airplane ( some people from the Air Force had doubts that it would be able to stop in time in such a short runway ) - The thing is that he ask permision to come in , the Air Force Radar told him not to because we were dealing with British Airplanes at that time , but he insisted .- The advise to troops in the ground that one of our Airplanes was coming in did not make it in time .- Shoot down by Skyguard 35 mm , HMS Glanmorgan south of town was also shooting at it , hits from Skyguard brought it down .-
Regards
I think Garcia Cuerva was in a PAC with Perona who was shoot down by a British Plane a few minutes early .-
On this matter I will need a help from others that have more details about the Air to Air encounters such as Cosmicomet / Jualbo/ Cris BV / Pantanglen - Thank You
