the landings at San Carlos on 21 May and prior to the arrival of 5th Infantry Brigade a week later, three Scouts from 656 Squadron were under the operational command of 3 Cdo Bde RM alongside the six Scouts of B Flight, 3 Commando Brigade Air Squadron RM.<Naval History, Landings at San Carlos Water – Summary of Main Events and Main Units> When <a href="/wiki/5th_Infantry_Brigade_(United_Kingdom)#Falklands_War" title="5th Infantry Brigade (United Kingdom)">5 Infantry Brigade</a> landed, these three Scouts reverted to under command of 656 Squadron on 1 June and joined up with three additional Scouts from the squadron. During the Falklands conflict, the Scout was engaged in CASEVAC, re-supply and Special Forces insertion roles. One aircraft, <i>XT629</i>, was one of two Scouts of B Flight, 3 Commando Brigade Air Squadron, that was attacked by two <a href="/wiki/FMA_IA_58_Pucar%C3%A1" title="FMA IA 58 Pucará">FMA IA 58 Pucarás</a> (the only Argentine <a href="/wiki/Air-to-air_combat" class="mw-redirect" title="Air-to-air combat">air-to-air</a> victory in the war) of Grupo 3 near Camilla Creek House, North of Goose Green. <i>XT629</i> was hit by cannon fire and crashed, killing the pilot and severing the leg of the crewman, who was thrown clear of the wreckage on impact. The second Scout evaded the Pucarás and later returned to the site to CASEVAC the survivor. Another Scout, <i>XR628</i>, of 656 Sqn AAC, suffered a main rotor gearbox failure whilst in a low hover over MacPhee Pond, 8 June 1982. <i>XR628</i> had taken cover as two pairs of A-4 Skyhawks from Grupo 5 approached, these aircraft later attacked the RFA LSLs <i>Sir Galahad</i> and <i>Sir Tristram</i> at Bluff Cove. Once the threat had passed the pilot Sgt R Kalinski PARA began to climb away, the main gearbox failed at the main input drive and the aircraft made a forced landing at the lakeside in around four feet of freezing cold water. The two crew and three passengers, SSgt Ward NCO AAC Sigs, R D Braithwaite & Airtrooper Colin Badgery (LMG Gun group) – all of whom were Army Air Corps personnel – were picked up by another 656 Sqn Scout piloted by Capt J G Greenhalgh and his crewman air gunner later that day. The aircraft was eventually recovered and airlifted to Fitzroy by Seaking on 11 June, but was subsequently written off on its return to the UK. Following research at the National Archive, Kew, it has been determined that <i>XR628</i> was the same aircraft that was shot down, 26 May 1964, carrying 3 Para CO Lt Col <a href="/wiki/Anthony_Farrar-Hockley" title="Anthony Farrar-Hockley">Farrar-Hockley</a>. </p><p>Scouts armed with SS.11 anti-tank missiles were used to great effect during the Falklands campaign. On 14 June 1982, an Argentine 105 mm Pack Howitzer battery dug in to the West of Stanley Racecourse was firing at the Scots Guards as they approached Mount Tumbledown. As the guns were out of range of the <a href="/wiki/MILAN" title="MILAN">Milan</a> ATGWs of nearby <a href="/wiki/Parachute_Regiment_(United_Kingdom)" title="Parachute Regiment (United Kingdom)">2 Para</a>, their 2IC, Major Chris Keeble, contacted Capt J G Greenhalgh of 656 Sqn AAC on the radio and requested a HELARM using SS.11 missiles to attack on them. As he was engaged in ammunition re-supply, his Scout was not fitted with missile booms. This was in order to reduce weight and increase the aircraft lift capability. Capt Greenhalgh then returned to Estancia House, where his aircraft was refuelled, fitted out, and armed with four missiles in 20 minutes with the rotors still turning. An 'O' group was then held with the crews of two Scouts of 3 CBAS and Capt Greenhalgh took off on a reconnaissance mission, while the other aircraft were fitted out and readied. Within 20 minutes, he had located the target and carried out a detailed recce of the area. He fired two missiles at the enemy positions and then returned to a pre-arranged RV to meet up and guide in the other two Scouts. The three aircraft, positioned 100 metres apart, then fired a total of ten missiles (nine missiles hit, one failed) from the ridge overlooking the Argentine positions 3000m away and succeeded in hitting the howitzers, nearby bunkers, an ammunition dump and the command post. The Argentine troops returned mortar fire, a round landing directly in front of Capt Greenhalgh's Scout. </p><p>In the early hours of 6 June 1982, a <a href="/wiki/A%C3%A9rospatiale_Gazelle" title="Aérospatiale Gazelle">Gazelle</a> helicopter (serial no. XX377) was shot down over <a href="/wiki/Pleasant_Peak" title="Pleasant Peak">Pleasant Peak</a> by <a href="/wiki/HMS_Cardiff_(D108)" title="HMS Cardiff (D108)">HMS <i>Cardiff</i></a> in a <a href="/wiki/Friendly_fire" title="Friendly fire">friendly fire</a> incident.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> All four occupants were killed, the pilot <a href="/wiki/Staff_Sergeant#United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Staff Sergeant">Staff Sergeant</a> Christopher Griffin, his crewman <a href="/wiki/Lance_Corporal#United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Lance Corporal">Lance Corporal</a> Simon Cockton and two passengers from <a href="/wiki/205_Signal_Squadron" title="205 Signal Squadron">205 Signal Squadron</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Corps_of_Signals" title="Royal Corps of Signals">Royal Corps of Signals</a>, <a href="/wiki/Major_(United_Kingdom)" title="Major (United Kingdom)">Major</a> Michael Forge and <a href="/wiki/Staff_Sergeant#United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Staff Sergeant">Staff Sergeant</a> John Baker.
