Excellent prog and it captured the feel of just how dangerous the mission was. Those guys willingly and knowingly risked their lives. I thought it shocking that not all the crew were awarded proper medals - Typical very mean-minded side of Britain!

When the fook is 'Great' Britain gonna really help its heroes!!

That said, on another note countering that report on the failure of the vulcan missions, some of the naval tactics and equipment left alot to be desired and almost lost us the falklands war. (That doesn't include the fleet air arm though, they were pivotal in the success)

Great aircraft.  Lets see what propaganda the RAF use...............

Good read below.

The raids are still seen by many as a RAF command wish to be involved in a war when Defence Cuts were rife.  (deja vu?) Sea Harrier already proved it was capable at keeping the Argentinian airforce on the ground................................

Interesting read. 

That mirrors exactly what id always thought had happened tgere with the raf bombing attempts.

I think the RAF should release all fixed and rotary wing (non transport)aircraft to the navy and all land field equipment to Army, Virgin/BA can operate the transport fleet (on time, and better availability).  Save Money and Dis-Band the RAF.

Fixed.

The RAF motto is we Check-In not Dig In.

A good watch, our boys/men put the Great in Britain. As a child I was glued to the TV 30 years ago "looking out" for my Dad (RAF Pilot).
