Nice work. You might want to put the squadrons on the template as well, so that those of us not in the know will have a chance of finding out what's what at a later date.

This a truely great thread. Some great drawings and nearly all my fave aircraft too!
I was going to do a Vulcan but gave up, this looks smashing and I hope we see more Vulcans from earlier times.

Indeed a great thread of very nicely done drawings. Hoping to see more from the same conflict, like the helicopters used by the RN, and army as well as Argentinian aircraft.
