Chaps
in preparation for a Falklands display, I am researching Pucara 533 so that I can fill in some of its operational history. I am also looking for Pucara parts (and Falklands memorabilia) to use in the display. I would like to complete the Pucara cockpit section so any leads greatly appreciated.
Regards
Tony

Good luck with it Tony, if you can swing by this way (Australia) there’d be many who would love to see it, any chance?
When push comes to shove, don’t stand near a cliff

RE: Pucara 533
A Google search with “a-533 malvinas” brought up a few links that might be of use:
http://www.laahs.com/wwwboard/messages/2548.html
“May I suggest you contact Jorge Nunez Padin:
or to his e-mail:
He will be more likely to have the pictures you seek, regarding Tomba’s airplane.
I wrote an article about the operations of the Pucaras in the Malvinas / Falklands, but I don’t have the article here in my computer.
Best of luck,
Contact Mr. Jorge Núñez Padin at the following;
He is the author of a small but very good detailed
monograph dedicated to the IA.58A Pucará,
including pictures of them (A-511) and many
more.
If I am correct he started a second edition of
this type.
Hope it helps.
cheers.
Rico Angerman.”
Club Pucarero has articles in Spanish which mention A-533 and the pilots that flew it during the conflict. The original links have a translation clickable on google search “a-533 malvinas”

Good luck with your project.
