I've been reading the press closely for several weeks and must have been missing something. Are the RAF's AD, GR and MP assets so heavily tasked in Afghanistan and the Balkans than none could be spared to defend the Falklands? I expect the charter companies would be delighted to provide transport aircraft (that's what MPA's orignal concept of operations was based on). AAR, as usual, might be the limiting factor, but surely a way could be found to get around that?
I don't think the Argies would be stupid enough to try it again; but lets not encourage them with all this defeatist talk. That's how it all started 20 years ago, with some diplomat in BA telling the Argies that we could not afford to defend the Malvinas.
