Downplayed ! I should think so ! the truth is to be found in Sharkey Ward's "Harrier over the falklands"
1 the jets couldn't use stanley runway, it was too short . At a cost of millions the runway is long enough now ! if the argies invade, they will have their Etendards there and we have no more harriers to take them on .
2 4 attempts one aborted because someone left the window open , one forgot to fuse the bombs , all for one hit at the very end of the runway, which did naff all.
at a cost of millions - yes millions of gallons of fuel
laughable, pathetic, another attempt by the raf
pr machine to pretend it was involved.
