THE Royal Navy today rubbished "completely untrue" claims one of its helicopters was chasing an Argentine submarine when it went missing near the Falklands.

...

Jesica Medina claimed her sailor brother Roberto sent her "strange" messages two days before the last communication from the ageing sub.

She said the Second Sub-Officer told her on WhatsApp a British helicopter and a Chilean ship began tracking the vessel when it passed the Falkland Islands on November 13.

He reportedly wrote: "On Monday an English helicopter was looking for us, and yesterday the Chileans, there has been a lot going on."

Jesica told Argentina's La Gaceta newspaper many other missing crew members also sent their families messages claiming they had been fleeing a British helicopter.

“MoD rubbishes claims “

I’m not even willing to admit that rubbish is a noun.
