message: This organisation is never called 'Military of the Falkland Islands' by anyone. It's a wiki-invention. Unless there are objections, I will move the article, over the redirect, to British Forces South Atlantic Islands on Sunday 10 January 09. Buckshot06(prof) 18:13, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Weak oppose - this is not the name of an organisation, but the title of the article, and is in line with the titles of other articles on similar subjects. --MacRusgail (talk) 17:56, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Can someone verify if the typhoon is in service in the Falklands now? It says in the article that it should have been in service from the end of 2007 yet it says the current interceptor is the Tornado. 82.38.116.119 (talk) 16:45, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No they haven't been replaced yet.  Just checked the RAF Website, it is still F.3.  Justin talk 16:55, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Can someone verify the number of Typhoons in service at Mount Pleasant? The dedicated page for the base says there are four. So are there five or only four?! CrackDragon (talk) 07:21, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There are 4. Justin talk 09:54, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitely 4. The confusion may have arisen because 5 were originally despatched. One was always intended as a "spare" in case there were technical difficulties. The fifth aircraft returned to the UK after all 5 had reached Ascension Island without problems.

thread_title: Number of Typhoons

message: Can anyone make a useful contribution regarding the capabilities of the RN warship(s) on station? According to the HMS York (D98) article, the vessel has a MOD 1 4.5 inch gun, 2 Twin Sea Dart missile launchers (40 missiles) and 2 Phalanx CIWS. Also a Lynx helicopter with anti-ship missiles and anti-submarine torpedoes. By contrast, according to the HMS Portland (F79) article, this vessel has a 4.5 inch gun, 2 quadruple Harpoon missile launchers, 1 Sea Wolf vertical launch system, 2 twin 12.75 inch ASW tubes, 2 30mm AA guns, 2 CIWS (Phalanx?) and Seagnat and DL3 decoy launchers. Also a Merlin helicopter with anti-ship missiles and anti-submarine torpedoes. By my reckoning, that makes HMS Portland more heavily armed than HMS York. A frigate is more heavily armed than a destroyer? Of course, York was commissioned in August 1985 whilst Portland is a little more recent (May 2001). The difference in capabilities seems obvious to me, but I'm not a naval expert. Is Portland more capable/powerful than York?

replies: text: I don't understand why that's relevant to the article, perhaps it could be a point to say one is more heavily armed but it seems irrelevant to me. G.R. Allison (talk) 09:58, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This is an article about British miltary forces on and around the Falkland Islands. The on-station warship is, for the most part, the only thing that changes at intervals. Capabilities are of the essence.

message: It's certainly the case that the Tornados are long gone now. Who's responsible for removing unnecessary "Talk".
Why is a C-130 referred to as a C3. And that's out of date anyway. As far as I can see, the C3 designation would be solely for the RAF, so why not refer to it as a C-130H(C3)? And, according to the article "List of active United Kingdom military aircraft" there aren't any C-130H(C3)s anyway. They've all been replaced by the C-130J(C4) and C-130K(C5). Unfortunately, I have no idea whether the aircraft on the Falklands is a J or a K. Does anybody know? 
In addition, does anybody know whether the TriStar tanker has been replaced by the RAF Voyager yet? Agent0060 11:32, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
