Описание: On 31 December 1985, after a break of more than fourteen years, the Royal Air Force was once again able to count a fully operational Tiger Squadron amongst its units. The re-formation of No 74 (Fighter) Squadron,

to give its name in full, was a direct outcome of the 1982 Falklands War: after hostilities were concluded, it became necessary to station a detachment of Phantoms on the islands in order to defend the Falklands against any

further Argentine incursions, and as a consequence there was a shortfall in the number of aircraft available for air defence duties in the United Kingdom. The Tornado ADV interceptor was still some years away in terms of its

introduction to service, and thus in order to fill the breach created by the move south something else was needed - and as quickly as possible.
