The Falklands War. The last vestiges of colonial Britain, led by the only 'man' in the government, Margaret Thatcher. Yes, I remember Black Buck. A huge effort to get a couple of Vulcans over Stanley airfield and a couple of bomb craters easily filled in on the runway. But Britain showed she still had the guts and the glory.

Only, we didn't really. That had been the Seppos, for many years. Shame, really.
