Córdoba receives remains of plane shot down in Malvinas

The province of Córdoba is preparing to receive a plane killed in combat in the Malvinas Islands war, more specifically on May 23, 1982 -forty years ago- to be preserved and preserved in the local museum.

The remains of the Mirage V-Dagger aircraft of the Argentine Air Force, piloted by Lieutenant Héctor Volponi, will be received at the Malvinas Museum in Oliva, after a donation made by a British military officer who preserved the aircraft.

Said ex-possessor is the infantry battalion corporal of the United Kingdom, David Richardson, who found the remains during an exploration mission in the Malvinas Islands, and initiated a process of identification of what was found, to know its origin.

Once identified and restored, Richardson preserved the remains until now, when the donation process was promoted to the aforementioned museum in the province of Córdoba.
