Tornados in the South Atlantic
Theoretical situation...
If we could have had the Tornados in service earlier, during the 1982 South Atlantic conflict, what impact would it of had? Would it of improved the situation in the air?
Was there anywhere they could operate from? Ascension, with air refueling, maybe? Is that too far away? Would they have needed Mount Pleasant for them to have any chance of operating?
Or is there no feasible way they could have operated? Would the cost/difficulty out weigh the benefits?
I'm sure there are lots of you out there who know a lot more than I do and I would appreciate any knowledge anyone has to share on the matter.
(and remember it's only theoretical, obviously I understand there was no way that they could of actually operated, not being in service)
