A great shame to see the forced retirement of a fantastic aeroplane and the Falklands saviour in 1982. These beat the pants off the Argentine military, whether in air combat or disrupting and inflicting pain and chaos on the dug in soldados. Definitely the Falklands saviour, but the newly stationed Eurofighters are a great asset to control south-west Atlantic skies too!
