I am enjoying the incongruity of being told that I don't know what I am talking about by members of the RAF AD community.

I am RN. You know, that service that has been shooting down enemy aircraft since WW2 on a regular basis? And I am not just talking about Harriers. The fleet has many people who have actually shot down aircraft from ships.
Tourist, you beat me. I had you down as a rather vocal first tourist spouting the crewroom banter.
Can I offer a word of advice from someone who may have seen a few more scenarios than you and has looked closely at the campaign in the South Atlantic? .......... And might I add, that includes experience of contingency missions in the Falklands campaign and a couple of tours down there. Put your name down for a course at the AWC. That way when you offer comment on the Forum on RAF capability, it may be informed by fact and not myth.
