A question about the alleged Bearded BSs RT call.
Where was the task force at the Black Buck closest point of approach?
Did the SHAR actually fly at night which would have been necessary if it was on CAP?
Where was the CAP station and at what height?
Was it in LOS with FI?
If the SHAR CAP was below the RT horizon and the TF was to well to the seaward side of the islands then it is unlikely that the Argentines would have picked up the call unless they had an Elint aircraft up.
Now if by chance the Argentines had had a defensive CAP airborne that night, unlikely I know, then the BBS RT call might have been quite welcome by BB.
So, could the RT call have been made?
Might the bomber be relieved, or at least interested, to know that escort/sweep was available?
Or is that too tactically advanced for that time?
