I don't think we would be able to do the same today

I don't see why not, the navy has two carriers with F-35Bs, plus the RAF has Typhoons and SAM batteries at MPA, not to mention the capability of positioning combat aircraft down there within a 24 hour period. There might not even need to be a ground force...

(Let's not forget that Argentina is in no position militarily to launch a sustained attack campaign against the islands, let alone invade.)

Enjoy your trip to HARS, Graeme? It's a great place! Nice pics, mate.

The F-106 is a beautiful aircraft. I would have loved to have flown one, that and the F8U.
