Argentina attempted to purchase Vulcan bombers from the United Kingdom in September 1981 (PDF of the report here). In January 1982 the sale of a single aircraft was approved, but it was recommended that further sales not take place until it was determined what Argentina wanted the aircraft for, and also if their interest was genuine. There was also concern that the aircraft would be well suited for attacking the Falkland Islands.

What if Argentina had put its request in earlier and acquired around ten Vulcan bombers by the time of the Falklands Conflict?
