Thanks PN - I thought a visit to the GP might be in order ref the onset of incipient Alzheimer's! Definitely didn't AAR on the the return leg, but it was sooooo loooong!

Without knowing the delivery dates of the Herc Tankers, could it be that, with 2 tankers at Port Stanley, there weren't enough Herc Tanker assets available at ASI in the early days of the Airbridge operation, leading to the heavier Victor utilisation? ASI still seemed to be covered with Victors in Sep 82.
