When the FIADGE was relevant it would have been a bit difficult to drag in the controllers from Kent, Alice or Byron to the debriefs only to hear F-4 crew tell them how great aircrew mates were....again - and who'd have minded the shop while they were away?

Now the big question - if remoting works so well why not do airspace surveillance and control of the Falklands from somewhere more geographically conducive to enhanced C3I2 - say Barbados, leaving the windswept islands to our fast-jet brethren?
