We had received complaints about the "joke" We do a have Argentinian members on the forum and also have to be mindful of them.
Do we have any Falkland Islanders as members???? I'll bet they weren't laughing when they were invaded by armed soldiers.
Invading unoccupied islands! white British troops! that may possibly apply to Australia but the Falklands...no. The post was deleted because of over the top political correctness.But the Falkland Islands were not always British. They were invaded by white British troops in the 18th century. So how far back do you want to go? We need to respect history, and not what just appears on our 21st century news channels.
Yes, the posting was a little bit tasteless, given that the Falkland Islands are still disputed.
But the RAF will always have the highest respect.
Lets not bring this thread down please.

I am with johnnybach on this one -- his link to the website setting out the Falkland Islanders views/wishes is well worth the read.
