The delay of 3 Paras landings had not been reported to the helicopters carrying out the lifting tasks. A Sea King with an underslung load of mortar ammunition, along with a Gazelle from 3 Brigade's 656 Squadron C Flight on a reconnaissance mission came over Port San Carlos while the Paras were still clearing the settlement. The forty one Argentinians, under the command of Lieutenant Daniel Esteban of J Company, 25 Regiment, had moved to the east of the settlement and opened fire, causing the Sea King to drop its load and fly away over the bay at high speed. The Gazelle was hit in the engine and rotor however, and crashed into the water. The crew escaped from the sinking aircraft, but were shot in the water by an Argentine machine gunner. Sergeant Andy Evans was wounded but died after being picked up in a small boat bravely manned by some local men. The other crew member, Sergeant Eddie Candlish, was unhurt. A second Gazelle from C Flight arrived about 15 minutes later over the scene. The radio in the aircraft was not working properly and it is believed the pilot, Lieutenant Ken Francis and his crewman, Lance Corporal Brett Giffin were responding to an earlier call for reconnaissance over Port San Carlos. Their Gazelle was also mortally hit, but not before the crew had destroyed the Argentine's only rocket launcher, then crashed into a hill a mile east of the settlement, both of the crew members died of bullet wounds. The news of these events had still not reached the command ship when yet a third Gazelle entered the area. It was also hit by about ten rounds, but its pilot, Captain Robin Makeig-Jones, managed to turn away and escape. The loss of these aircraft produced a marked change in the British tactical use of these aircraft. Plotting artillery shoots and undertaking offensive armed operations were to be largely abandoned, the light helicopters being used for communications, transport and casualty evacuation for the remainder of the conflict.”El trozo en negro dice: cuando un tercer Gazelle entro el area. Tambien fue tocado por aproximadamente diez balas pero el piloto RMJ logro girar y escapar.OK esto no sale en las otras historias que he leído, y hay detalles, en cada cuenta el Sea King llevar algo diferente, pieza de artillería, rapier, aquí es municiones para morteros.Solo enseña como recordamos las cosas en maneras distintas y creo que mucho de las problemas con las historias de las MLV es porque uno vea naps y el otro coles, pero los dos están de acuerdo que los llevo el burro.Saludos</blockquote>
