I do hope the ijot who decided the Harriers' demise is shuffling nervously in the corridors of power.If it all kicks off and the Argies do lob one onto Stanleys runway scratch the use of 4 Typhoons..wheres our air defence then...you cant rely on one super sophisticated warship. I'd like to think some one somewhere is earning their pay and coming up with a preemptive plan....but somehow I think not...If there are huge oil reserves to be tapped into then we need to bolster the islands defences in the long term.Just how many aircraft could the type 45 defend at the same time anyway?
