This is the video of the 28 March 2003 'friendly fire' incident involving two A-10 Thunderbolt US jets attacking a British convoy destroying two FV107 Scimitar armoured reconnaissance vehicles killing L/CoH. Matty Hull.
Lasting just over 15 minutes, video begins just before the A-10 Thunderbolt pilot spots the four vehicles. The local time is 4.36 p.m., or 1.36 p.m. GMT. The time code in hours, minutes and seconds is from the digital clock on the pilot's display.
