You seem to be right about the fact that the British could hug the coast of Africa and avoid Venezuealan attack.

One possible fly in the ointment would be the probability that some West African country would allow them to land on their soil and refuel etc.

While that is a hypothecial possibility, my point was the UK Task Force could stay out of the (unrefueled or go out & return) range of Hugo's SU-30MKs. Jeff seems to believe the Geography I was taught back when there was a Geography Course in public school is incorrect.
