1 the jets couldn't use stanley runway, it was too short . At a cost of millions the runway is long enough now ! i
No it isn't. Once Mount Pleasant was operational the Stanley runway was shortened again.
If the argies invade, they will have their Etendards there and we have no more harriers to take them on .
Harriers! Maybe but the Typhoon is rather more capable in that respect.
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.
Must be an Irish runway. The bomb was in the mid-point of the runway but admittedly off the centreline.
