Despite my nitpicking, I really like this article. Thanks, Astrotrain. - Hephaestos 20:20 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- using google earth, RAF mount pleasant appears to be ~ 30 miles south-west-west of port stanley, though I'm not sure that's the way to write it (which is why I haven't edited it in) 81.102.41.34 23:54, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
"The craters seen (see image in external link) were in fact heaps of earth placed there by the Argentines to make it look as though the runway was damaged.[4] " This seems at odds with other articles here and the book Vulcan 607. Is there any evidence that this might be the case?--Jeffjn 19:33, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
History section needs to be cleared
The section has a lot of propaganda, false assumptions and irrelevant data (e.g. Belgrano has nothing to do with Mount Pleasant). Please check with other well sources articles like Falklands War. --Jor70 (talk) 11:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
The raids obviously were not highly successful due Hercules, Pucaras and Aermacchis MB339 jets continuosly used the runway until June 14. The runway was already "disabled" for fast jets operations before the Vulcan raid, its was simply too short. The FAA didnt care to extend it (mistakenly may be) until they realized that UK will go to war (too late, british SSN already blocked all naval transit to the islands) Please read all sources in Falklands War and Black Buck Operation articles . --Jor70 (talk) 13:51, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Yeah I'm forced to agree, regardless of what the effectiveness of the Black Buck Raids is considered to be, its in no way relevent to the Mount Pleasant Base —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.254.146.20 (talk) 15:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
What was wrong with my cleanup version [1] ? Why people continue to remove things without creating a consensus first ? I posted in this talk page a request about the history section and having no answer in 5 days I cleaned up. All the other stories are irrelevent here but if someone still have the urge of talking about the sinking of Belgrano we can add a see also. --Jor70 (talk) 20:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- There was a lot wrong with the "rewrite", not least due to the fact it removed critical information. Fast jet = fighter, not passenger aircraft in English for one. Justin talk 08:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Could you please show me the critical information related to Mount Pleasant (Black buck??, Mirages??, Belgrano?? ) --Jor70 (talk) 13:23, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
ould anyone tell me weather the information about flights between Río Gallegos and MPleasant is right or not? Juan Pablo
- I did explain part of what it was above, I really don't have the time to explain every action to you. Continually questioning my good faith edits is starting to get extremely tedious and not to mention rather irritating. As is your POV push on these articles. Justin talk 13:38, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
