As I heard it ( not long after the event for what it's worth) the Argentine Air Force were using the same set of data as the RN for Sea Dart/type 42......(there's a surprise). What they/the Learjet crew hadn't bargained on was the RN having a pop anyway and the intercept geometry favouring the missile.
