And obviously the Islanders were right on side with the Argies!!!
Look you little scrote. You have provided no information that would make us even want to believe what you say…
If Invincible was holed, how long would it take Illustrious to get down to the Falklands? This would mean a massive gap in capability as there would only be one flight deck available (Hermes). The Fleet and the men on the Islands would have been at the mercy of the FAA.
Even had the harriers not been lost, remembering that there were always some in the air, and the ones on deck (3 in your picture) would have been scrambled off. Where would they go?
They couldn’t go to Hermes, she was already packed with aircraft as it was. Both carriers had extra aircraft added to there normal compliement.
They would have to go to the Islands, they could operate from roads and even take off vertically (with a much reduced armaments and fuel payload) from fields, but here they would have been attacked by the FAA ground attack aircraft surely.
You don’t explain away these arguements with “SHHHH”, “It secret” and the other codswallop you are coming out with.
Make a sensible post, with proper research and explanations.
