Incomprehensible[edit]

"Sweden and France requested Astiz extradition to the British authorities after learning about his capture, but his captors rejected the petition." - Who is the captor if not the British authorities? --91.10.23.83 (talk) 20:03, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

rewriting needed[edit]

The following passage in the article is incomprehensible to me:

The operation was ordered by Admiral Fieldhouse on 12 April 1982. It was to involve Mountain Troop from D Squadron Special Air Service (SAS) from Ascension Island, 150 Royal Marines on the tanker Tidespring, 2SBS on HMS Plymouth and 6SBS in the submarine HMS Conqueror. This was known as CTG 317.9, commanded by Captain Brian Young.[1][2] Conqueror was first on the scene and carried out a survey of key areas of the South Georgia coast.

What is a 2SBS? What is a 6SBS? Is the second sentence a list of 4 disparate elements (Troop D, 150 marines, a "2SBS", and a "6SBS"? Or does it refer to a Troop D which consists of 3 elements (150 marines, a "2SBS", and a "6SBS"). And what is it that was known as CTG 317.9? The combination of four elements was known as a Command Task Group(?) or what, perhaps? I don't understand at all. Rewriting needed! --do ncr am 17:09, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Helicopter crashes[edit]

Nothing is said of the failed insertion of troops in Fortuna Glacier, which ended in 2 Wessex helicopters crashed and several troops dead. Not notable enough? I don't think so, see article in official RAF website Regards, DPdH (talk) 22:48, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That RAF article does not appear to mention any fatalities, only non serious injuries in the crash of the Wessex. I might have missed something, in which case, apologies. ck (talk) 10:25, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There were no fatalities and the crashes during the reconnaissance phases are mentioned. Whilst it was a significant omission, it was addressed [1]. W C M_email 10:29, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Argentine Puma helicopter, shot down by Royal Marines from King Edward Point." - no other details?[edit]

There is a photo of "Argentine Puma helicopter, shot down by Royal Marines from King Edward Point." but this helicopter is not included in the list of losses below the photo, and there is no mention of it in the wikipedia article. 116.87.111.200 (talk) 23:33, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Were their any Argentine helicopters on South Georgia at the time? I can't tell if the photo is of SG or the Falklands, although the photographer says it's on SG so presumably he knew where he was. The were UK helicopters damaged there though so is the photographer simply confused? Other editors more knowledgeable could cast a better light on this though.

This is apparently the Puma shot down during the Argentine invasion of South Georgia. Using it to illustrate this article doesn't seem like a great idea. --RD47 (talk) 22:11, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct the image was unrelated, so per WP:SOFIXIT moved another image to replace it. W C M_email 19:48, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
