Happy Birthday Bro. Missed every day. 67 .... you were never meant to grow old 💔 #FalklandsWar #FromTheSeaFreedom

Lieutenant Commander Dante Camilette of the Argentine Marines under arrest, 27 May 1982. He had been found observing British warship movements from a concealed position above San Carlos Water. #falklandswar #royalmarines
The #FalklandsWar remains an epitome of the British Way of War post-1945, thousands of miles away or closer to home. A bespoke highly capable global navy with a professional expeditionary army—not one obsessed with sandy places or European plains—& both working together. Why so…
Being as we're going to be talking all things #Falklandswar for the next few months, here's a fun story about the SAS in 1980 pulling a UFO prank on our American cousins... With determination like this, we could only win 🤣
Turn 12 and the Brits are barely out of San Carlos. Gales have really decimated my schedule. I'm going to lose the #FalklandsWar .
We will remember them.

At the time of the #FalklandsWar (1982), #RoyalNavy crews were trained to expect a 20 minute warning b/w detection of an incoming (Russian) aircraft, and the impact of any projectile that it unleashed? HMS Sheffield barely received 2.5 minutes of warning, total! #avgeeks #history
