Did anyone manage to see Falkland's Most Daring Raid last night?
Wow!
I knew about operation black buck, but this program really put across the extraordinary odds at which all these aircrew faced!
My favourite part was that in order to fix the refueling system (which hadn't been used for 20 years), parts were salvaged from scrapyards - one vital component was being used as an ash tray in the crewroom!
Seriously, if you've got some spare time, watch it here:
