Could the Canadair CL-84 be used for AEW/AWACS from HMS Invincible and Hermes at the Falklands War?
The challenge would be fitting and lifting the Gannet's AEW set-up.
I assume the CL-84 wouldn't fit down the lifts on Invincible, but it may fit on Invincible. Otherwise deck parking will have to be the norm.
If it can't lift the AEW, perhaps the Hiller X-18 is the better option?
