Bluff Cove Air Attacks
The Bluff Cove Air Attacks occurred 8 June 1982, during the Falklands War. British troop transport ships were bombed by the Argentine Air Force (FAA) whilst unloading, with significant damage and casualties.
==Background==
By 1 June, British forces on the Falkland Islands were bolstered by the arrival of 5,000 new troops of the 5th Infantry Brigade. Major General Jeremy Moore now had sufficient force to start planning a full-scale assault on Port Stanley.
Advance parties of the 2nd Battalion, Parachute Regiment moved forward and occupied Fitzroy and Bluff Cove, when it was discovered to be clear of Argentine forces. Units of the Welsh Guards and Scots Guards were sent in to support them. After the sinking of the transport ''Atlantic Conveyor'' there was only one British troop carrying helicopter available, an RAF CH-47 Chinook, the ''Bravo November''.〔McCann, Carol and Pigeau, Ross (2000). ''The human in command: exploring the modern military experience''. Springer, p. 59. ISBN 0-306-46366-0〕 Therefore, supplies and reinforcements would have to be transported by sea.〔Bolia, p. 68〕
