They were used during the Falklands lark and destroyed the Argie Bargie Mirage shit. There is one video out there somewhere Top Gun style where a mirage is chasing a Harrier...Harrier basically slows down and stops, the Mirage flys by and the Harrier drops a rocket on that French tickler bottom...scratch 1 bogey....

You fought in the Falklands? I kind of remember that. Actually you're younger than I am.. so I guess you didnt. at least I think you're younger than I am.
I remember Prince Andrew getting attention. now he's getting bad attention. of course no one is following up on it. Is G-Max still breathing? -

Boom bitch, get out the way, remove yourself from the path I intend to travel bitch, aside with you!
its not uncommon for britishes to manipulate their records during wartime. -

Of course they're going to China. Going to sail around a little before getting there, but that's their whole reason for leaving port.
There's something pathetic about the Brits sailing around with a boat full of American planes trying to convince everyone how totally still "relevant" they are.
I hope the Chinese develop some way of sinking carriers with plausible deniability. Pop-up coral reefs or robotic krakens or something.
