Port Stanley Airfield runway denial

Since the Falklands War went on 27 years ago this week, I would like to pose a question. The UK expended considerable effort on trying to close the run. As far as I know, high level bombing by Sea Harriers was proposed but not tried. Sharkey Ward suggested 5 Shars in card formation flying down the axis of the runway from West to East at 15,000+ feet. In clear weather it sounds a possibility. Why was it not tried?
