Didn't see the program, but was any mention made of the fact that a type 42 is a VERY poor substitute for AEW? (I can hear all those bagger observers, yes an ex pinger is recognising that you are useful..)
This is also borne out by the success of the 'manned exocets' ie A4s with 500lb bombs that got through the much vaunted Stovie screen at low level below ships radar horizons.
Anyway, I want to know when the witch hunt for losing the battle of Hastings to the French is going to be on........
