MAINJAFAD/Darvan I have been able to select and copy from a couple of the pdfs on the Radar site and have been using g@@g£3 translate as my Spanish is very basic.

It's interesting the radar unit were expecting a US aircraft as the delivery system if Shrike was used. Also they considered Martel might be used - I assume either on the basis of structural commonality with Sea Eagle (the SE development SHAR was the first to be shot down IIRC) or delivery by Nimrod?

Their preparations to counter a possible attack show a great deal of ingenuity. I'd be interested to know the actual targets of the Harriers they thought were possibly targeting them. Especially the alleged attack on the Stanley water supply.

Seems they thought some of the BB Vulcans were SHARs heading to their CAP stations so were slow to react.

I love the story of using the vibration of a fire extinguisher mounting to calculate the fall of shot from NGS ships.

38 years gone by and still learning new things.

Marcantilan - interesting post - "Three simulated craters were built on the main runway in order to deceive the Enemy Forces, before the possibility of reconnaissance" (my interpretation of his statement )

I am looking forward to reading your new book, disfruté leyendo el anterior.
