As a Falkland Islander who at six years old lived through the conflict dare I suggest that the most daring raid as such was the total job done in ensuring that my Islands remained British.

Given that the Argies had taken the Falklands logic would suggest that they should have held onto them given the logistics involved to attempt what then took place.

There seems to be a lot of bitching over who's service was best but then I guess there always will be and each war that comes along provides commentators fresh chance to talk about the inevitable cockups that will happen.

As a kid who was fast asleep less than four miles from the impact point of the Vulcan's bombs and used to collect shrapnel that had fallen off his roof after the previous nights shelling could I just say how thankful I am to all that were involved (whatever service you were from) for enabling me to grow up being proudly British.
