I doubt the Vulcan would have been bothered either, but then that wasn't the point i was making 
The point I was trying to make (perhaps a little poorly) was that the French weren't the only folk selling weapons systems to the Argentines, but the only folk to be singled out for it, time and again..

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising
I would have been more concerned about the Roland systems that the argentines had than the subsonic tigercats..

You know, I *almost* made an electro-pop reference earlier this morning, but then I remembered post #522

They weren't mentioned on the program though. So they weren't even considered.

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising
That is one impressive ship. I watched one of her class (may have been Dauntless herself, not sure, was too far away) doing sea trials in the firth of Clyde a few summers back. Plus, having at one time commuted to work along the Clydeside Expressway I watched two of the class being built at the Govan yard. It's nice to see the finished vessel fully crewed and under her own steam.

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising
Again? They haven't stopped, it's just everyone else has got bored listening.
Apparently Cristina Kirchner personally invited all the heads of state and ambassadors of South America to witness her latest rant on Monday. None of them turned up.
