1982 Task Force Question

Hello all,

I am trying to put together the puzzle from the May 30th attack (Falklands / Malvinas 1982). That day, 2 Exocets and four A4cīs attacked the fleet with Exocet and bombs. Exeter shot down two Skyhawks.

For the experts in the forum, do you remember what chaff "D" was? Also, remember the EMCOM policy at the time? I mean, all radars were on at the time, or not?

For now, this is theoretical SAM coverage of the fleet, at 1730z, May 30th 1982. At the bottom of the image, the route of the attackers and the radar "paints" at them



Regards!
