On 2 June 1982, two companies of paratroops were flown from Goose Green to seize the settlement of Fitzroy. Eighty-one Paratroopers squeezed into Bravo November which is twice the normal capacity. Once landed, Bravo November returned to Goose Green to pick up a second load of seventy-five paratroopers.
