The "Super profile" series was quite heavily criticised by enthusiasts when it first apperared; it was branded as a mere packaging exercise, with medium-quality pictures that could generally be found elsewhere, and none of the colour three-views that the original 'Profile' publications pioneered in the 1960s and 1970s. However, in the case of this title, these observations were secondary to the notoriety of the subject; it was published only a couple of years after the Falklands War, where the type saw action with the Argentine Naval Air Arm, and this was one of the first assessments of the type's combat performance and record to appear for the UK enthusiast.
