Mr Fogg

Presumably the point is that (i) we have much larger force down there at any time now than we did in '82, (ii) have air defence of FI which didn't exist in '82 and (iii) can reinforce the Falklands PDQ if it was required - and have you looked at the Argentine ORBAT since 1982?

I'm not from the Kipper fleet, but may I suggest that if you feel safer in the UK SAR area of responsibility following the withdrawal of the MR2 without replacement rather than before, you're an idiot.
