Nutty.......genuine question. How did France help out? I was under the impression it was quite the opposite but happy to be corrected. Apologies for thread drift by the way.
Cal it 50/50%.

Thwy provided the UK with full specifications and intel on the aircraft and weapons they’d sold to the Argentinian Air Force and provided aggressor training to the Fleet as it transited south through the Bay of Biscay and the use of French bases in Africa for resupply. However they also had a team in Argentine providing contract support to Argentina…
