MrBornugly,
Somebody in the whole Falkland setup carries a lot of weight at ministerial level and manages to punch at a weight well above that which the Falklands' deserve!
So, you think that a part of Britain that has been invaded within the past 25 years by a neighbour, and is still claimed by that neighbour as being their territory, does not DESERVE a couple of F3's and other support aircraft to protect it from any possible future threat? Right, best we move the whole RAF fleet to your nearest airfield so we can protect just you, as obviously no other Brittish citizen DESERVES our protection

I think those in the Falkland Islands are at more of a direct threat of military attack by a neighbour (however slim that threat may be right now, it still exists) than those of us at home back in dear old Blighty, and deserve our whole-hearted support.
