As for the Vag....Voyager operating from Base Aerea Gringo, as Dan says - no great problem. But I would have thought that an A400M would be a better in-theatre tanker for the Malvinas - if con-tricks, sorry, contracts allowed....

There is one othr snag though - the Timmy hangar is about 1 m narrower than the 330's wingspan (as I reported 10 years ago) and snow and ice are not unknown in the sun-washed jewel of the South Atlantic...

It would be far cheaper to give the Malvinisti a million smackers each and cede Costa del Sur Atlantico to Argentina
