“Last December in Geneva UK and Argentina signed the final accord for the identification of the 123 Argentine combatant remains buried in Darwin although it will only involve those which have been specifically authorized by their next of kin.”

This is clearly an attempt to deceive. The 123 soldiers are unknown, how can they only involve those which have been specifically authorized by their next of kin, since until they have bee exhumed and tested their will be no knowledge who their next of kin is.

If GoA intents to proceed with this event if there is some opposition, they will just have to have the courage to say so.

One has to ask why this is going to happen in June/July when the weather is generally unsuitable for outside work? Just that shows that this hasn't been thought through.

June/July was chosen because it ensures that no RGs will turn up and try to big note themselves.....

I imagine they will turn up anyway... the flights operate all year round. I say that isn't the reason.
