This bird was in fact the plane that made the Argentinean military think twice about the British.

It was indeed a far more psychological than physical blow...

Beautiful work!
This is the load dumped on the Falklands airstrip at an oblique angle to guarantee at least one hit; only one hit and one near miss but it was enough to prevent Argentina from basing jet fighters there for the duration of the fighting.

That was the idea; it was OUR runway, and we wanted to use it afterwards. It was more a statement that we COULD bomb it, and would do it again if we had to.
And a reminder that they were messing with a nuclear power.

I believe this one didn't screwed around.
21 iron bombs was a large enough load to ruin someone's day, although accuracy was lacking.
