  • Mike Traynor)
    Falklands March - July 1990 (Mike Traynor) I went down south long after the invasion, so we had it pretty good, up at the Mount Pleasant. Firstly, I can't remember anyone who was pleased to be selected to go! I certainly wasn't looking forward to it but just accepted it. 18 hours on an aircraft is a long time for anyone. It was quite pleasant at first arriving in Ascension, glorious sunshine, thinking this is OK. When we arrived in Ascension we were told that everyone in the Falklands was moaning about lack of mail from home. It was found out that all the mail from the previous two days had been off loaded to accommodate some essential equipment that was required urgently. To ensure we loaded as much mail as possible, everyone on board had to be weighed, together with any hand baggage you had. I think I was 500 letters and a couple of small packages. The ritual when you arrived at Mount Pleasant was that you were met by the person you were relieving and just about everyone had a placard stating only 122 days to do! A couple of stories I heard from a SWO from Kinloss who had been down three times. First time just after hostilities. Seemingly they were living in tents and ISO's, large metal shipping containers. Of course the SWO had the biggest and best container and being a good organiser, he had loads of home comforts. The container served as his office which was curtained off midway, behind which was his sleeping area.

  • Goose Green Friday 28Th May 1982
    “Sunray Down!” The Battle of Goose Green Friday 28th May 1982 A Scenario for ‘Battlefront: Modern’ By R Mark Davies Historical Background When the Argentine Junta congratulated themselves over their successful invasion of the lightly-defended British Falkland Islands on 2nd April 1982, they fully expected the British Government to acquiesce and accept Argentine sovereignty over the archipelago. They expected to leave a token garrison on the islands, ethnically cleanse the fiercely British population and move to attack the real threat to their power in South America – Chile. However, the British response to the invasion was far more belligerent than even the most pessimistic Argentine forecast and a large British amphibious Task Force was soon sailing south. The Junta were now faced with a dilemma; since the seizure of the Falklands they had been ramping up to a war with Chile, which was similarly mobilising her armed forces for war. This mobilisation of forces left precious little with which to garrison the Falklands, but a garrison force had to be found. A divisional-sized force of two infantry brigades was therefore scraped up from across Argentina, regardless of their suitability or preparedness for Arctic warfare. The first British ground forces arrived in the theatre of war on 21st April, as SAS special forces landed on South Georgia. The Argentine garrison of South Georgia surrendered on 25th April to a joint Royal Marine/SAS/SBS/Royal Navy force and attention moved inexorably toward the Falkland Islands. The first major engagements occurred on 1st May: a lone RAF Vulcan bomber, flying a marathon mission from Ascension Island, bombed the main Argentine base at Port Stanley Airport, followed closely by Sea Harrier strikes and naval bombardment from Task Force warships.

  • Paper 122 74 Days in 1982 Trial by Combat
    Falklands Wars – the History of the Falkland Islands: with particular regard to Spanish and Argentine pretensions and taking some account of South Georgia, the South Sandwich Islands and Britain's Antarctic Territories by Roger Lorton 1 Paper 122 74 days in 1982 Trial by Combat “Between a heavyweight diplomatic machine which had been playing power politics on the world stage for more than four centuries, and a foreign ministry that could just about manage relations with a few of its Latin American neighbours”3 ◈ United Nations support for negotiation on the issue of Falklands sovereignty had proven insufficient. Talks had not proven fruitful for Argentina; unable to persuade the UK that it had any historic claim. Therefore, unwilling to take a case to the International Court of Justice, Argentina chose the one route left open to it – invasion. By taking such drastic action the military junta in Buenos Aires hoped to present Britain with a fait accompli; a situation that could not be overturned. The junta’s expectation was that Britain would see the futility of its position and recognise that any attempt to restore islands 8,000 miles away was tactically doomed to failure. In this the junta was naive. After 150 years of dealing with the British, Argentina had clearly learned very little. Historically, trial by combat was always the final act – for someone. It is worth remembering that at dawn on April 2nd, 1767, Spain first raised its flag over East Falkland. It seems unlikely that Argentina, which claims to be the heir to Spain, invaded on that date by coincidence.
