Never heard of any Argentinan cars, and if I remember correctly all their planes are semi obsolete Dasault Mirages (French)
There is an outfit that makes some superb Bugatti Type 35 replicas. That would need to be preserved in the event of them upsetting us!Edited by 550Hep on Wednesday 15th December 22:03
Argentina would currently be hard pressed to launch a convincing assault on a Chilean goat farm, let alone an island defended by Typhoons, Astute class nuclear subs and the World's most powerful air defence destroyer, the type 45. The fact that a 41 year old plane like the Harrier has been retired is neither here nor there.

You are aware the type 45 has no missiles?BeeRoad said:

The Harrier concept may be 40+ years old but the Harrier II's that were prematurely withdrawn yesterday were built in the late 80's early 90's as GR.5's and had there most recent upgrade only 3 years ago.As war birds go there not tht old.

Added to which is the fact the army has 500 men in the Falklands whereas in 1982 there was only a token garrison. Ross1988 said:
