Does it really take 30 Harrier sorties to get a single bomb on the runway and thus equal the damage done by the Black Buck Raids that had 63 bombs between them?
FFS, read the previous posts. The point was that we only had 20 SHARS and couldn't afford to lose any, hence even the TF commanders accepting that using the Vulcan was the right thing to do.

We were on a knife edge from start to finish - up to the last day and the surrender of Stanley.

Hindsight is wonderful...........
