    Hmm.. Looks American.. late twenties, 1929?... sesquiplane floatplane... 9 cyl radial engine. Without looking too deep, is it something like a Buhl CA-6?

    You realize that is a picture of an Argentine plane in joint maneuvers with the USS Carl Vinson, right? Argentina is an ally with whom we cooperate.

    Until they go crazy again and invade the Malvinas...

    The old British governor, Sir Rex Hunt, died recently...

    At some point the Brits will concede these islands, but only if diplomacy is given a chance.

    If the Argy's jump ugly again, the Brits will bow up, but without the combat power they had available in 1982.

    It could put us back in the difficult position we suffered through in the first war.

    Another issue for the sub-basement. I doubt that the British living on those islands will ever decide to affiliate with Argentina.
