XM607 Falklands' Most Daring Raid

I came across this and thought some might find it interesting.  Its 47 minutes long, but worth the watch I think.

I spoke about this raid with a Sea Harrier pilot a few years after the Falklands.

Whilst it was undeniably an incredible achievement, and the psychological impact on the Argentine's - knowing that they could be attacked from those kinds of distances - must have been immeasurable, he claimed that the amount of ordnance that the Navy could have delivered on Stanley airfield for the same financial outlay was quite incredible.
