    The Argentinians faked the damage to the airfield. The Vulcan bombers did not do any damage that prevented normal air operations from the airfield. It was the Harriers air superiority that prevented that and the inability of the Argentinians to extend the runway to permit Skyhawks and Mirages to use the airfield.

      Fantastic book, also read it this year.
      Must remember to pass it on to my brother, he's just come out of the Air Force and spent the last 12 years at RAF Waddington.

                    Unless you sit behind me, how would you have any idea what my research was?
