David,

Ah, yes...with friends like the French we will never need enemies!

The Argentinian Air Force techs had never completed the training on the Exocet and had to figure out how to mount and use the missles on their own- Obviously they succeded.

According to a show on Discovery Wings I saw yesterday, Argentina had only 5 operable Exocets and 4 Super Entendards to fly.

Andre,

I would LOVE to come over for Goodwood but alas it is not in the budget right now. Although I have been to the UK several times I have never been to an operating race circuit, only Brooklands. Really enjoyed the museum there last time, cars and aircraft, what more could one want? Even got to sit in the Harrier cockpit and play "Ahnold" in "True Lies".
