I was but a 14 year old boy at the time, so my views count for nothing. Further, I appreciate that lives were lost in this, and other, actions of the Falklands War. I would be interested to know though, how does one draw a distinction between dereliction of duty and making a decision later proved to be in error?
I also note that in the time for the radar to make a sweep, the approaching aircraft had advanced 20 miles. So you get about 10 sweeps of that radar and that's it. Or have I got that wrong? Surely the kit wasn't THAT bad in 1982?
