We should also add that FAA A-4 had been withdrawn back to Villa Reynolds by that time. COANīs Skyhawks left were no more than 2... may be 3.
So, if they trully were A-4s, supported by KC-130, they probably came from Comodoro Rivadavia or even Trelew. Different thing if weīre talking about COANīs Super Etendart: they most likely were flying from Punta Alta.
Iīm pretty sure that no less than 15 or 20 air-contacts were reported by HMS Valiant between June 25th and 27th, most of them C-130. I should double check that. Were there any SSNs still on station just outside the 12NM zone letīs say around Puerto Santa Cruz, San Julian or Gallegos?
