It highlights a significant event on May 25, 1982, when the RAF suffered a setback during the Falklands War. The SS Atlantic Conveyor, carrying ammunition and helicopters, was hit by Argentine Exocet missiles, resulting in the loss of crew, helicopters, and munitions. The article also discusses the training and operations of RAF Phantoms during the Cold War, emphasizing their capabilities and the intense atmosphere of the time. It mentions an incident on May 25, 1982, where a Phantom pilot mistakenly fired a missile at a pair of RAF Jaguars during a training mission, leading to one of the Jaguars crashing.
