SAS Commando Raid on South Georgia Island - Operation Paraquet
The heavily-equipped British SAS commandos were silent inside their Wessex 5 helicopter. They had spent the last 16 hours traveling in dreadful weather looking for Argentinians, and now they had to turn back because one of them was beginning to show signs of hypothermia.
Outside, a Force 10 storm with 100-mile gusts was making their lives miserable, but Royal Navy Lieutenant Mike Tidd still managed to lift off the helicopter and head for safety. However, a snowstorm eventually trapped the Wessex, and Tidd lost control of the aircraft.
All the men miraculously survived the crash, but that was the least of their problems.
They landed in the middle of nowhere, probably surrounded by approaching Argentinians, and had to rush to find cover if they wanted to survive the inclement weather reaching -25 degrees.
Operation Paraquet, the recapture of South Georgia as part of the Falklands War, was up to a rough start...
