Although we were busy with Falklands and GW1, it is a measure of how much bigger the RAF was then that we conducted those operations without seriously compromising high priority UK and RAFG tasks. I would imagine that the use of pretty much all of the Victor tankers in the Falklands had an effect on UK AD activities but I wasn’t in that business.
