Compare with the unit where 50% fly once per year and the average is 7-8 h/year. To me, this indicates that there is no meaningful average number. 1/3:rd fly 120 h/year and 2/3 don't is probably closer to the truth. Don't know about 2003, but in 2001 that's very much how it was. -- Urban Fredriksson http://www.canit.se/%7Egriffon/ 1) What is happening will continue to happen 2) Consider the obvious seriously 3) Consider the consequences - Asimov's "Three Laws of Futurics", F&SF, Oct 74 |

wrote: "Keith Willshaw" wrote in message ... "Yama" wrote in message ... Again, do you seriously think that British Army and Royal Marines could have taken Argentinian army on their mainland? Again NO , Why not? I thought they were much more effective than ill-trained Argentinan military? Are you trying to be obtuse? The RN in 1982 (and now), does not have the amphibious transports to land a divisional sized force in fighting order on a hostile shore. The fighting has nothing to do with it, it's the getting there. If on the other hand 1Div had magically arrived in Argentina, then they probably would have done pretty damn well against the Argentine forces. Chieftains (probably one of the two best tanks in the world in 1982), supported by TOW armed Lynxes, who had been training to fight the best Soviet Guards armies versus what the Argentines would be likely to have at the time (I'm afraid Google let me down on the OOB in 1982 except for the forces sent to the Falklands). It'd be slaughter. Can anyone help out with the OOB for 1982 in Argentina (and the UK come to that)? Peter Kemp |
