And, if it's not commonly known, the exocet missiles, during the conflict and the very missiles killing Brits, were being delivered to Argentina by a certain Luxembourg state cargo carrier, currently with a fleet of B747-400's, who carried the missiles from Chateroux to S. Africa and the missiles were then carried by an AOM Minerve DC8-62 from S. Africa to Argentina.
