Different Su-35s. They are the old Su-35 whilst Ken was reffering to the new Su-35 (Su-35BM).

I knew that – just joshing with him. Going off topic slightly, I met the then current US Moscow air attache under the nose of a Su-35 at MAKS. His name was Dan Eagle and I always wondered whether that was his real name.

They are always armed when they are escorting the B-2

Looks more like the Ahrens AR404 which ended up in the storage area at Mojave.

Some ‘interesting’ links, particularly the official Fuerza Aérea Argentina site that seems to claim that HMS Invincible was hit by an Exocet missile and then bombed by A4 Skyhawks (although as the site points out the British deny that this ever happened).

The site also claims that HMS Hermes was also ‘considerably damaged’ (if my translation is correct) although it admits that this conclusion is reached due to the fact that aircraft apparently stopped operating off her…..must be true then.

In a previous post you wondered if it was possible that the ‘full and neutral story’ of the Falklands conflict could be produced.

So, having posted these links, are you saying that this information is neutral?

The best neutral account of the airwar I found was the one produced by the BARG team. Unfortunately, I lent my copy to somebody (I don’t even remember who) and never got it back.

Thanks, I’ll get up early then 😉

Are you likely to be routing past RAF Newton to the East of Nottingham on Sunday? He said hoping…

I went up into the mountains on the rack railway there – tremendous. The Freddie Mercury statue was a bit underwhelming I thought.

Neither did Frank Zappa
