This is a long shot but I am trying to remember the name of the ship that picked myself and three mates up out of the South Atlantic about the 20/21/22 May 1982. This was just after the chopper went down killing a number of SAS personnel and we were sent down as replacements. We were parachuted into the ocean as part of a resupply mission and our equipment was damaged due to a parachute malfunction. We had to borrow SLR rifles from the ship. We were cross-decked onto the LSL Sir Percival. If HMS Coventry was the ship that picked us up and anyone remembers this please get in touch. Most appreciated.
