Remembering the Falklands War Media, Memory and Identity Sarah Maltby Remembering the Falklands War Media, Memory and Identity Sarah Maltby palgrave macmillan memory studies Palgrave Macmillan Memory Studies Series Editors: Andrew Hoskins University of Glasgow Glasgow , United Kingdom John Sutton Department of Cognitive Science Macquarie University Macquarie , Australia Aim of the Series The nascent fi eld of Memory Studies emerges from contemporary trends that include a shift from concern with historical knowledge of events to that of memory, from ‘what we know’ to ‘how we remember it’; changes in generational memory; the rapid advance of technologies of memory; panics over declining powers of memory, which mirror our fascination with the possibilities of memory enhancement; and the development of trauma narratives in reshaping the past. These factors have contributed to an intensifi cation of public discourses on our past over the last thirty years. Technological, political, interpersonal, social and cultural shifts affect what, how and why people and societies remember and forget. This groundbreaking new series tackles questions such as: What is ‘memory’ under these conditions? What are its prospects, and also the prospects for its interdisciplinary and systematic study? What are the conceptual, theo- retical and methodological tools for its investigation and illumination?

London For Susan Maltby ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is apparent to me now that the origins of this book derive from my own project of remembering, not only of a childhood touched by the Falklands War but one that was also lived out on windswept islands which, like the Falklands, were beautiful but (at times) felt culturally and geographically distant. I am grateful for that childhood, and for the memories I am left with. They have informed this book in many ways. I am also thankful to those who, in one way or another, gave me the opportunity to revisit them during the research and writing process. Thank you in particular to Andrew Hoskins and John Sutton, Series Editors for the book, and to Felicity Plester and Sophie Auld at Palgrave Macmillan. Thanks also to the Sociology Department at City University who funded the research, espe- cially Frank Webster who backed the initial proposal and Andrea Tinson who helped to secure the funding for this and other research projects during my time there. I am indebted to those who so willingly gave their time to take part in the research, particularly from the British military, the BBC and the Falkland Islands. I would especially like to thank Pete, Mickey, Dave, Mark (Merlin), Pat, Neal, Martin and Ray for their spirited company during my stay on the Islands. Thanks also to Phil and Stella for offering me such fascinating insights into Island culture, and to Darren for providing rich observations of the 30th anniversary at a time when he was least able to accommodate the demands of an academic researcher. Lastly, thanks to all those from the BBC, especially Carolyn, Julie, Johnny and Gavin, and to Mike Bracken for helping me clarify my thinking at the outset of the project. vii viii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I consider myself extremely fortunate to be surrounded by colleagues whose intellectual stimulation and guidance is a constant source of encour- agement and who have enriched this book in numerous ways. In particu- lar, sincere thanks to Helen Thornham whose honest and fertile appraisals of the book made its completion signifi cantly more enjoyable. Special thanks also to Lucy Robinson whose insights and observations of both the Falklands War and drafts of this book were a moulding force. I am also thankful to Ben O’Loughlin for his good humour when confronted with my research ramblings despite their only occasionally producing a good idea. Other signifi cant colleagues are too numerous to mention but include all those in the School of Media, Film and Music at Sussex University who, collectively, continue to provide me with a uniquely invig- orating and nurturing place to practise and write research. Thanks also to family and friends, including some of those above, for their ongoing encouragement and loyalty. In particular, a very special thanks to Hamish for being at my side at the most rewarding and testing of times (and all those in between). Special thanks also to Jane for her exceptional under- standing and rejuvenating spirit. And to Kevin McSorley whose friend- ship is rewarding and steadfast. There are others whose support over the past few years has contributed to the completion of this book in more ways than they could know, including Bryan and Rosemary Maltby, Penny and Byron Bayford, Judith, Mikey and Ruby Hannan, Lucy and Simon Brooks, and Vicky and Matt, Stead. Lastly, I would like to express my enduring thanks to Susan Maltby and Bob Wise who remain central to my own remembering and whose excep- tional love, guidance and humility I will carry with me always. I dedicate this book to them, the memory of who I value beyond measure.

    LONG RANGE MISSIONS THE FALKLANDS WAR raf100schools.org.uk LONG RANGE MISSIONS – THE FALKLANDS WAR INTRODUCTION The 1982 Falklands War is often taught and discussed from the position of its political rights and wrongs and the wider ramifi cations it had for the British and Argentinian leaderships at the time. In this material, the main focus is on the basic narrative of the military war and, in particular, the RAF Operation Black Buck. BACKGROUND TO THE FALKLANDS CONFLICT The Falkland Islands are a group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, crossing the Atlantic, but with no 300 miles off the South American coast and 8,000 miles from the UK. formal port.

    No.97 October 2009 DEMINER Masikati Mazango (BACTEC International) works to clear land South of Sapper Hill down to the Mount Pleasant Road on East Falklands. The area was subjected to a cluster bomb strike by British aircraft during the 1982 war. Here he clears a 50m x 50m ‘box’ of land using a Minelab F3S mine detector and searches for the cluster munitions (BL755). The red fl ags indicate metal signals which he will later investigate by careful excavation using hand tools to confi rm whether it is scrap metal or a bomb. The majority of the work undertaken by the 30 deminers will comprise recovering the thousands of mines left by Argentine forces in 1982. By early March this year, more than 1000 mines had been cleared and destroyed,including Italian SB81 Anti-Tank mines, Italian SB33 Anti-Personnel mines and Spanish P-4-B Anti-Personnel mines plus other munitions.
