Surely if you are a SAM holder one of the answers to Questions 1 and 2 will be Yes? i.e. You were either in UK or down south?

SJ - You would think so but the answer is NO! There are two questions: (1) Did you serve in the Falklands? (2) Did you serve in the UK during Op Corporate? Being in Ascension throughout along with the Vulcan, Vicor, Herc, Nimrod & Phantom Dets plus TCW, UKMAMS, MCSU etc and holding the SAM begged what do I answer?

what answer do you think the Black Buck Vulcan crew would have to say

"Look Nav's...Iv'e told you once before.... If we march straight across the middle of the Mall it will be a lot quicker than marching straight down it. It worked in 1982 when we bombed the Runway by going across it rather than along the runway headin"
