Very nice!

BTW would a Hunter have had the range to make it to the Falklands (via Ascension Island?) or would they have been shipped in?

I was thinking more along the lines of flying them off Ark Royal or another carrier like the operations to reinforce the Spitfires on Malta (Operations Calendar and Bowery).

I think your imagination has got a bit rusty during your sabbatical from CA! (Just kidding)
