To me, 82 seems too recent, but like I said, I am ignorant of such things. radical_D _________________ Radical_D "I write code so you don't have to."

Wasn't that an obivous, british's (tea drinkers... can't resist that kind of jokes.. haha) sea harriers were not in serve at early 1970s until early 1980s while being armed with only sindwinders against mirage IIIs or 2000s. Correct me if I am wrong on this. Eagle out... _________________ FAF / FA-2 Beta Tester -------------------------- Great pilots are made not born...

The Sea Harriers and HMS Invincible, commissioned on July 11 1980... Of course, this doesnt necessarily mean that you are correct on the poll... I never did say the two were related...

So after searching google, I voted for 1914. Eh, did you knew that the Falklands were originally settled by my Acadian ancestors? I had just vaguely heard about that, but when I saw you poll, CAG, I started searching the web for more infos about that. Here's a condensed history of that (first) settlement: http://www.acadian-cajun.com/exfi.htm FlatulentFox _________________ Wed Feb 23 18:34:07 2005 CAG Hotshot   Rank: Admin, Site Owner, Developer, Webmaster Joined: 12 Aug 2004 Posts: 16261 Post subject: You guys sure do get around... Good guess, but again, there is no guarantee you are right... Besides, googling is cheating!

Nearly everyone fell for the ruse and went after the 1982 Falklands War date... However the Falklands War was not the "Battle of the Falklands"! When will you guys ever learn how truly tricky I can be... The correct answer is... 1914! Battle of the Falkands, 8 December 1914 http://www.gwpda.org/naval/j0600000.htm The British battle-cruiser HMS Inflexible, a veteran of WW1's Battle of the Falklands. The British battle-cruiser HMS Invincible, Battle of the Falklands. http://www.gwpda.org/naval/images/invinciblefalk.jpg (^--- VERY Large Image of HMS Invincible above!) So far only FlatulentFox and I have voted correctly!
