Now, where did we put those RN Harriers?
Bring the carrier, they are starting a lawsuit! Really?
In any case, a SHAR flying cost per hour is around US$ 5.000 and a good UK based law firm will charge you US$ 750 per hour.

idle thought...could the SHARS (given dire need) be bought back to service?
surely its possible given what IRAN has achieved in the face of longterm sanctions with her fleet of tomcats and phantoms....not to mention the helo and multi engine types.
FISH.

Thank you for the bite, Marcantilan. And for doing the maths on the costs.
But it has raised an interesting point about reinforcement of The Falklands. I feel better about it.

Argie Gripens or UK CV-borne F35?
They only ordered theirs last week but I bet they're ready first.

So how is it that no one notices that a UK company going to profit from arming an enemy? Maybe we should ask BAe Systems to build a deliberate flaw in the landing gear, just in case... you know.
Which will available in the South Atlantic first?

I hope they wouldn't embargo the ejection seats. A golden opportunity to serve our national interest, engage in product placement and arrange follow-on order all in one.
