AE One of your comments yesterday was something in the order of "Aircraft
AE carriers can stand off at long distances and protect land" or something
AE like that. Not in the South Atlantic without radar; the British proved
AE that in 1982 - the Harriers were often grounded by fog, rain or low
AE cloud. How are the GR-7's going to "defend land"?

Didn't write that . . .
