Sharkey Ward - OPSEC

timex,

I think that BEagle was referring to Sharkey Ward's call to the Vulcan as it was inbound in radio silence on BLACK BUCK 1 from his Sea Harrier - it was the FRS1s what were providing AD, not Lt Col Ewen S-T's LCUs...

More generally, I recall readimg somewhere that the Argies were about to / had trialled RHAG at Stanley, which, as already noted would have allowed it to take an A-4 det, and (possibly) Mirage III/V/Daggers, which could have materially changed the force composition over the islands.

Brave men all - very impressive.
