Flight Lt. Wales, as he's known in the Royal Air Force, was one of several pilots on call for search-and-rescue missions.

William's visit angered Argentina, which claims the islands 290 miles off its coast. His deployment added to growing tension in the run-up to next month's 30th anniversary of Argentina's attempt to regain the islands.
