早前PLAYERBOY有個福島POST中講過RAF由英國派轟炸機空襲PORT STANLEY 機場,其實RAF係無飛機可以有足夠航程,要用空中加油機加油被其他空中加油機駁腳加油被架VULCAN先可以由ACCESSION ISLAND。VULCAN當時係架將退役嘅50年代右電腦系統嘅舊機。阿根庭當時冇想過有機會被人空襲。當時RAF軍官只用一條WW2是計油嘅FORMULA加部值5磅嘅計數機計出成個OPERATION嘅安排,再由國防部發板。成個MISSION充滿2戰BATTLE OF BRITAIN時RAF嘅大膽丶冒險同併死風格
Yes .. Battle of Goose Green, even the CO of 2 PARA, Lt. Col H Jones killed in action, even he received the posthumous VC, but someones said that he died not in valour but stupidity...
Exactly.. the entire operation is lucky.. just one bomb dropped onto the airfield and causing minimal damages.. but to the UK expedition force, it strengthened their morale and also kept those argentinian fighter jet not-based in Falkland
