Falklands War

A Westland Sea King helicopter carrying the assigned team took off from HMS Invincible

Monday May 17, 1982
Falklands

A SAS reconnaissance team was dispatched to carry out preparations for a seaborne infiltration. A Westland Sea King helicopter carrying the assigned team took off from HMS Invincible on the night of 17 May, but bad weather forced it to land 50 miles (80 km) from its target and the mission was aborted.
