Crash position of canberra B-108 Does anyone know where Canberra B-108 crashed? Some of you may have read that both HMS Exeter and HMS Cardiff engaged the formation with multiple Seadart launches but this is wildly inaccurate. Whilst on a radar ambush mission HMS Cardiff engaged B-108 with a...

Report of proceedings I managed to get a copy of HMS Cardiff's Report Of Proceedings. This document was compiled immediatly after the end of hostilities in the South Atlantic. I wish we could get to read one of these from each ship involved. I hope it will assist you in some way. ----...

I can only speak about my ship HMS Cardiff. We were very determined and confident in our abilities. At times we were surprised at the determination of the FAA pilots and we respected them greatly. Some of the older men acted differently to the young in combat. My Anti Air Warfare Officer (AAWO)...

I remember this day well. I was off-watch when action stations was sounded so I went to my off-watch station (spare personnel, Junior rates dinning hall). I stayed there for a while but ended up being the only one left and got scared so I went to the Operations Room. I stood behind George Foster...

I will help to explain. But now, I have to put the children to bed. ---- Voy a ayudar a explicar. Pero ahora tengo que poner a los niños a la cama.

Oh God, where do we start with this one. Some of you guys think Invincible was hit that day. I have four children and can swear on their lives she was not hit. I know you really want to believe Invincible was hit that day...but she was not. ---- Oh Dios, ¿por dónde empezar con...

I wrote this on another forum in 2007. Maybe I could elaborate, if requested, further from here: With regards to the Boeing 707 incident on the 22nd May, we had been closing the TEZ with the Bristol Group and had been alerted to the fact that an Argentine 707 was airborne (I think Coventry...

The time? It was in the afternoon. In Cardiff the Operations room was very alert that day. For why we (the operators) did not know. The Arg 707 was transmiting on a radar (weather radar?). HMS Bristol was senior to us and for some very strange reason was not happy with the identity of the 707...
