I'd be very doubtful if the Falklands were overrun tomorrow (though that's probably less likely with the base there[1]). Lack of aircraft carriers surely must eliminate any realistic chance of air superiority, and there are no bombers remaining (the closest thing being the Tornado GR4, whose range is pitiful in comparison to the Vulcan's, and that was a logistical challenge itself[2]).
