It was doubtless a feat of incredible planning, human determination and resilience but.....didn't the runway at Stanley still remain fully operational?
I recall pictures of a sideways swipe of the airfield resulting in a lone crater to one side of the runway.
The Pucaras and C130s which were using Stanley remained fully operational, albeit using the right hand side of the runway.
Basically, a brilliant effort but.....er....they missed.
