Was the FOB on the little headland where the Benny airways strip was?

Can I ask a really daft question, which honestly isn't meant to cause an argument or pissing contest, just a question.
Looking at the dates that construction began and that it was operational, Why was there a need for an FOB at San Carlos if by that point we'd already taken Goose Green? Was the airfield there not suitable for Harrier operations, or was there some other limitation on its use?

Like the grafitti next to the crashed Harrier: 'Sod off Argies'.
