It will be Good when they get those last remains identified and No longer have this as an excuse to Hassle the Falklanders.

Word is that Andres Dachary has broken off diplomatic relations with the UK and may be about to declare war on the Falkland Islands.

Apparently, Argentina only cancelled its half of the Foradori-Duncan agreement.

I am pretty sure they already have the DNA from the remaining 2 graves anyway. Just a case (not easy I agree after 41 yrs) of finding a sufficiently close relative to get the exact match.

Good news is announced today that one of the original remaining 3 has just been identified and named- and in due course his grave will receive the name plate with his name on. hence only 2 to find.

Some damned cheek in Argentina complaining about FI and UK - It was then who tore up the 2016 agreement in TOTAL.
In particular the offshore fisheries transfer of catch reports etc agreement that allowed both S Arg and FI to agree seasonal catch levels and when if required to close both zones etc in the name of fisheries conservation for the benefit of the whole SW Atlantic stocks.
Utterly irresponsible of them bearing in mind todays climate change etc -etc.
