Lester May is also a repeat offender when it comes to airing his bigotry with the Evening Standard.
I am not sure on what evidence Storm Shadow is written off as 'dis-functional' and with no record of successfully interdicted targets. From the photographs I saw it had done quite a good job. I particularly enjoyed the image of a long range 'double-tap' against a bunker where the entry breaches were less than a foot apart, though I expect the SHAR would have got much closer and at far less expense...
Wouldn't it be nice if the two Services could be allowed to get on with a joint operational capability without all the nonsense from people still trying to fight the Falklands campaign again. Has anyone told Sharkey that the current OC 617 is dark blue?
