Today sees the anniversary of the start of the Falklands Conflict.
The Falklands War began on Friday 2 April 1982, when Argentine forces invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. The British government dispatched a naval task force to engage the Argentine Navy and Air Force, and retake the islands by amphibious assault. The resulting conflict lasted 74 days and ended with the Argentine surrender on 14 June 1982, which returned the islands to British control. 649 Argentine military personnel, 255 British military personnel and three Falkland Islanders died during the conflict.
The GB which was mentioned a few months back shall begin at 2359 tonight and last 74 Days. Any aircraft that took part in the conflict is acceptable (A list can be found here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:F ... r_aircraft)
