I read with interest your info regarding the attachk on HMS Argonaut.
I was Heavily involved in this attack in being on the flightdeck of the ship at the time.
The MB339 came out of the sun and fired Rockets and followed through with a short burst of cannon, these went through the 965 radar and ran accross the hangar roof (I heard the rounds strike as we ran inside.
I have attached a picture of the Ships Flightdeck Crew, this was taken very shortly before the launch of the Lynx moments before the 1st attack.
For those Interested I am the one with the orange mug on my waist in the middle of the picture
The guys on the left are the same as the rest of us, "Jumpy" towards the end of out time there we are even getting excited seeing seagulls oftem mistaking them for distant aircraft - You get like that sometimes.
