Orca,
Thanks for your last post, I must admit, I was myself a guest for 3 years in the RAF and I appreciated the professionalism of the Brits, and thats probably why I cannot bear most of the idiotic banter going on here.
Just a small point, even if the EXOCET is a French design, BAe became a major subcontractor for the missile due to the huge order from the Royal Navy, and much more were built for export...
I know it is a bit hard to swallow, 5 missiles and 4 ships destroyed, especially as parts on those missiles bore the words "made in UK"
Back to roastbeef/froggy banter
