Falklands Aftermath
Once the Falklands War had been won on the ground, Harrier CAP was maintained by Hermes before passing on to Lusty, before finally handing over to F4s once Stanley airfield had been made good. My question is, did air hostilities end at the surrender, or did engagements continue? Were the CAPs utilised, with the danger that the air war would continue on a slow burn? Or did the Argies effectively throw in the towel across all 3 vectors? I guess the F4 changed everything because capabilities it brought - but prior to that?
