Those people still had billboards up (in 1991) stating that "The Malvina's are ours!" leading from the airport into downtown BA. If you say "Falklands" to an Argentinian they will hit you with their purse...I mean, European mans Carry-all.

I thought the Yorktown was fighting 8? At least until it went down in may of 42. Obviously need to wipe the rust off my golden wings.
