LOUISE CLARK paid tribute to the iconic Chinook Bravo November she says saved her father’s life during the Falklands War – by having it tattooed on her arm She revealed her artwork at the RAF Museum Midlands, where she joined dad Ian and a group of Regiment veterans for a unique reunion beside the famous helicopter, ZA718. Dubbed ‘The Survivor’, Bravo November took off from the Atlantic Conveyer in the South Atlantic with a team of RAF Regiment Gunners onboard just minutes before the vessel was destroyed by an Argentinian Exocet strike. She said: “Local press reports said Dad had gone down with the ship. Luckily, he managed to phone us from Ascension to say ‘I’m safe, I’m fine, it’s ok’. I’ve always loved Chinooks and I wanted a tattoo to always remember Dad by. “The artist gave me a picture of a Chinook he wanted to use, but I said it couldn’t be just any helicopter, it had to be Bravo l See November.” pages 16-17
