    I was aware of the Sea King helicopter that landed in Chile during the Falklands war and I was aware that plans had been made, but not carried out, to attack the Argentineicon airfield mentioned in the video but I wasn't aware of a link between the 2 before seeing the video. Other users of this forum may have been fully aware of the link between the 2, before seeing the video, but I wasn't.

    A group of aircraft spotters just happened to find themselves in the area and watch/ photograph and record aircraft movements in Argentinaicon for their very interested friends back home, before going on a treking holiday in Chile apparently F10.

    Simple as that....

    Nothing to see here, move along now....
