Maybe I shouldn't take issue with London Mil's description of the Falklands F4 force at post No 2 so that it does not get any more prominence. However, the allegation of
fairly relaxed adherance to rules
is a long way from the truth and a slur on the characters around the F4 at the time.
The
Falklands F4 force
was a cross-section of the whole F4 force at the time and it was thoroughly professional with a great bunch of guys who knew the difference between those rules made for the obedience of fools and those made for wise men.
Wish the present day Service was just the same.
