there have been reports today that a comms bouy has been 'tracked' and that an Argentine ship, the ARA Admiral Browne has gone to investigate, but i've heard no follow up. there were other reports that HMS Protector had seen a series of orange and white flares and was trying to chase down their origin, but that the Argentine Navy said that the San Juan only carried red flares.
there was another report that the USN had got a solid sonar strike on a 80m long object on the sea bed, but nothing appears to have come of that.
the RN has sent a dozen underwater rescue stores pods and some Naval Liiason Officers to Argentina - they went on an RAF Voyager via a 12 hour flight from Brize. t'was not far off the Voyagers maximum range. the RN SPAG team have split into three - a small team with the survival stores pods in Argentina, a team on HMS Clyde which is doing maximum revolutions towards the search area, and another team at MPA with the C-130 and the parachute deployed gear.
