"HMS EXETER in high seas. The next PSL Blog will include among other things an account of how she was authorised to use Sea Dart missiles to provide air defence of Gibraltar during a major international crisis during the Cold War"

"Fascinating CAS daily briefing notes on the work of the Nimrod fleet during the Falklands war from snooping on Soviet AGI spy trawlers to being armed with Sidewinder missiles to shoot down Argentine aircraft - was there anything the 'Mighty Hunter' couldn't do"

"Strong entry here to win the prize for 'most surreal MOD Ministerial correspondence letter ever'"

"A great archives day - from reading about previously unknown SAS and SBS 1980s operations to uncovering tales of RN RAF and USAF intelligence operations against Russia to the ROE for war against an unexpected foe in the 1980s my 'to do list' is bulging at the seams"

"The Libyans didn't have good capability - with pilots refusing to fly jets maintained by their own ground crew and often getting lost on operations. At best XX jets could conduct airstrikes"

"The biggest risk was to RAF Akrotiri and the airfield at RAF Gibraltar. The threat was seen as very unlikely but still possible by intelligence analysts"

"How to defend against this On Apr XX the MOD activated contingency plans immediately deploying X Rapier batteries to Cyprus and a further eight to Gibraltar to provide local air defence. This was a highly potent anti-aircraft missile"

"In the air X Phantoms were on deployment to Akrotiri - two were put on QRA ready to launch while the others were dispersed. An RAF Shackleton AEW aircraft was also sent to provide early warning of incoming Libyan air raids"

"The MOD thought about asking Spain to use their Nike/Hercules missile batteries to jointly defend Gibraltarian airspace. This would have been a major policy shift and would have been unlikely from policy perspective. Admiral Woodward (of 1982 fame) advised Ministers accordingly"

"The ROE in place permitted any British units to use force if Libyan bombers demonstrated hostile acts (e.g. opening bomb bay doors while on a direct track for Gibraltar / Cyprus). The ROE below state the circumstances where the Libyan air force could be shot down by the UK"

"In 1982 the Dept for Education and Science wrote to the Home Office looking for sites to store priceless artworks in wartime. HO asked the MOD who responded rather bluntly which in turn formed the basis of a softer letter back by HO. A Whitehall correspondence classic"

"In 1986 the UK expected Col Gadhafi to launch air raids on Cyprus and Gibraltar. MOD deployed fighter jets Rapier and Type XX destroyers with ROE permitting lethal force on Libyan jets and merchant ships. This is the untold story of OP TOUCAN & CLOVER"

"The decision was also taken by Ministers on the 16th to deploy four more Phantoms to Gibraltar to provide urgent air defence for 'The Rock' which had no permanent fighter presence"

"Gibraltar did benefit from having a naval base and the Type XX HMS EXETER was alongside. She was brought to an hours notice for sea and was to be used to provide area air defence with her Sea Dart missiles that she had used to great effect in the Falklands War"

"A fantastic archive film of HMS ARK ROYAL and USS INDEPENDENCE operating together in the Med and cross decking Phantoms - really unusual film footage and a great throwback to 1970s naval aviation"

"In 1986 the MOD mounted OP CLOVER & TOUCAN - a rapid reinforcement of Gibraltar & Cyprus to provide air defence against Libyan air strikes. Long PSL thread on air defence protection of BRITANNIA and why the FCO worried about Spanish jets being shot down by mistake"

"Do you know the difference between a "special operation" a "sensitive operation" a "clandestine operation" and a "deniable operation" Pinstripedline thread on 1970s SAS MI6 and GCHQ operations and how the Govt tried to conceal their existence from official records"

"This is hands down the most superb RN Christmas video I have ever seen. It speaks to the sacrifices sailors have made at sea and the risks they face daily far from home and loved ones to keep us all safe"

"An awful loss reflecting the reality that UK service personnel are giving everything to help Ukraine in their fight against the evil of the Putin regime. Thoughts with family at this dreadful news"
