I was there and events have been analysed and discussed thoroughly numerous times. What do you have that is new or do you just enjoy trying to deflect by casting aspersions with no basis in fact I (a bit like Sharkey does)?
It is a fair point. I did make the comment.
New? Nothing at all. It has been done before. But do you really want to bite? I'm sure you will get all hot and bothered about it. After it was all over and the numbers came out it was interesting reading. Just the numbers. It rather makes Sharkeys point. Answer me the following.
What % of aircraft did the RAF contribute?
What % of sorties did the RAF contribute?
What % of those combat aircraft were casualties (lost RAF combat aircraft excluding F3s)?
And why they were lost?
Would (political aside) it have made an atom of difference to the outcome of GW 1 if the RAF had not turned up at all?
Compare that to the Sharkey arguments and the FAA in the Falklands War if you want.
