Orca,
Yes, I agree. In particular, I'm enjoying the input from our Argentinean (Argentinian?) friends. And there is a lot of really good stuff coming out here. Most of it very well ballanced and well considered.
The importint thing in this case (back to the OP) is that the raid WAS daring. I didn't need Ward to spend a whole 'paper' telling us what a poor contribution the RAF made - doesn't detract from the great job the SHars and Hars did in '82. Perhaps just heading off the thought that someone might steal a tiny corner of his limelight.
The recognition of the RAF SHar guys is appreciated.
