Gracias por sus amables palabras. ---- Thank you for your kind words. Esto es genial. ---- This is great. (I do not know what weapons will fight World War III, but I do know what will be used in the Fourth: sticks and stones). Albert Einstein. ---- (No sé con qué armas se peleará...

Ajax Bay 13 de junio de 1982. He recibido la orden de ir a la Bahía de Ajax con el rum para los cirujanos. El es lugar deprimente. I tomar muchas fotos y esta es la tumba de la laundryman chino Kyu Ben Kwo, HMS Coventry, Murió 25 de mayo de 1982. Kyu saltó en el mar y sufrió un ataque cardíaco...

HMS Cardiff and HMS Yarmouth detached from the task force to conduct naval gunfire support on the Hoya Chasco (Bluff Cove) gun line at 20:00 (GMT) 5 June. We were delayed because Yarmouth had a defect with her 4.5" gun and it had to be repaired. Because of the delay, we transited at great speed and after...

robert78 Rob, Thanks for the information. Regards. Ken.

Preguntas muy buenas. Otra vez: Galtieri: " ¿Victoria? Me informaron que los Británicos no quisieron el Malvinas." Thatcher: " ¿Guerra con la Argentina? Inevitable. La hice para mi país; el mundo recordará Margaret Thatcher". ------ Very good questions. Again: Galtieri...

yeyo The majority of the British armed forces did not even know where the Malvinas Islands were. When Argentina decided to take the Malvinas using her armed forces we were ordered to take them back. Our thoughts were not full of emotion, we simply trained as we headed south and knew we were...

Gabino Gracias por las palabras amistosas, ellos significan mucho a mí. Gran Bretaña y la Argentina serán amigos otra vez. El tiempo ayudará. Respecto a usted teniente. Ken. Thank you for the friendly words, they mean a lot to me. Britain and Argentina will be friends again. Time...

Hypothetical question If you could administer a 'truth drug' to a person who was involved in the 1982 conflict, who would that person be and what would you ask them?

PM CGGE(RS) PM CGGE(RS) Carrega, Jorge Carlos Guardacostas GC-82 "Islas Malvinas". PM CGGE. Does this rank match the uniform insignia in this photo? Prefecto Is this equivalent to U.S.N. Lieutenant Commander?

Photo 2 and 4, possibly a Chinook. Are the troops using aircraft for shelter? Astonishingly, one soldier is smoking a cigarette in a military aircraft! Foto 2 y 4, posiblemente un Chinook. ¿Las tropas están utilizando los aviones para el abrigo? ¡Asombrosamente, un soldado está fumando un...

Prefecto Jorge Carrega I found the other item (cap badge) that I have been looking for to send to Argentina. It was in the loft of my house in the last box I looked into! I was so pleased with myself I took a picture this morning to share with you. I have some concerns and would like to...

A selection of pictures sent to me by my friend Jorge. I have many more. I would like to know if these pictures have been seen by members of this forum before? I want to know this as I do not want to post pictures that you have all seen before. Also, I would appreciate any comment that...

Jualbo Thanks for that information. I distinctly remember the woman on Isla Bougainville (Lively Island) telling me that when the aircraft crashed the whole island seemed to shake. At the time (late 1982) I did not even consider the event she was referring to was related to the actions taken by my ship...I didn't...

Merci. L'éducation est tout des messieurs. Dieu vous bénissent. :hurray:

Thanks for the advice guys. (Merci, vont-elles comment vos études ?). ---------- Post added at 16:28 ---------- Previous post was at 16:18 ---------- Cheers mate. Got a Fedex and DHL account at work. Ken.

Let me know where to send them? Does anyone know a safe way to send a small package to Argentina? I want to make sure these items reach the owner...I am not concerned about cost. Help please.

When we loaded ammunition in Portsmouth there was very tight security. Sometimes security was even tighter and it was on those occasions that we rumoured that a 'weapon' was onboard. But the truth is we never really knew. I served for 15 years working in radar and ending my career in Air...

¿Cargas de profundidad nucleares? Los zambullidores británicos fueron a HMS Coventry y recuperaron muchas cosas. Pues los marineros nosotros no sabían si llevamos las armas nucleares. HMS Sheffield. Agua profunda. Moderator?

Perfecto. Víctimas de la guerra. Tengo esperanza que no suceda otra vez. Gracias por palabras amistosas.

On the way to the South Atlantic we were required to write our WILL. At the same time we were issued with this POW identity card and told to keep it in our possession at all times. At 19 years of age it was a wake up call. The Royal Fleet Auxiliary, civilians. Every one of them a hero...

Gerardo AML90 Daniel, Thank you for sharing. Respect and warm regards. Ken.

Enrique, You must mean illumination rounds fired from our Vickers 4.5" gun. Before the Malvinas/Malvinas war I had never seen one fired. They are spectacular! and light up the sky for at least five minutes at a time. I will look back at our ROP to see if I can find any dates for you...I...
