25 de Mayo came VERY close to launching an air strike against the British task force……7 skyhawks were on deck loaded with 3 500lb bombs, pilots in the cockpits (even started engines a couple of times) this was 3 escadrilla caza e ataque……….but there was no wind………..so, no launch……….the Brits had no AEW so 2 escadrilla’s SuEs had no real difficulty getting away once they had launched the AM.39s…….they came in at wave top hight and only pulled up every now and then to scan with their AGAVE radars………
