Having operated from Stanley's runway in the last year... The filled in craters are still visible. The closest struck on the side of the runway, a spot now used for engine checks etc by the resident FIGAS Islander fleet, but outside the bounds of the current licensed runway. It felt more than a little poignant to taxi onto the crater site and stop for final pre-flight preparations. Locals are still happy that one of the raids demolished a building they'd wanted rid of for a while!

Surely, as frequently cited, the main aim of BB was to prove the capability?
