G126,

I think you need to do a bit more research. You talk about Tornados as Air Defenders and Mud Movers in the same breath. There are two distinct variants. You also mention that the Sea Harrier was out of date even then..by what yardstick do you make that assumption? Just because the old girl may well be spluttering for air on hot days do not make the assumption that she was obsolete in 1982. Anyway there is plenty of chat about the SHAR on another thread if you really want to go down that road.
edit: bu&&er be beaten to it.

All the previous comments about the Tornado are valid. The runway at Stanley airport is only 6100 feet, which while adequate, would probably be a bit short for a fully loaded F3.
