  • This is a heavily edited version of the original live ITV broadcast of the Canberra returning to Southampton on July 11, 1982 after a three month voyage in the South Atlantic. Canberra was a key element of the British Task Force sent to liberate the Falkland Islands from Argentine invasion. The edited version focuses on 3 Commando Brigade and 59 Independent Commando Squadron Royal Engineers. My apologies for many other interviews that have been cut from this version to reduce the duration to below 15 minutes.

    Thanks for putting this up Rod. I was there with my father welcoming my brother home. He will tell you he is not a hero but for me he was. Not because he was fighting a war to protect Maggie's re-election but purely because he survived and came home. He was and still is sad because of those that never got to go home to their families. Both British & Argentinian.

      @Justin Time , you are quite right but if his brother fought there he's allowed to criticise any politician he likes.
      Roderick Macdonald often points out in his lectures that the war led to the collapse of the Argentinian dictatorship which had killed 30,000 of its own citizens. For which thy received no thanks (from the Argentinians).

      @Justin Time On June 10, 1770, the then Governor of Buenos Aires, Francisco de Paula Bucarelli, ordered the eviction of the British occupants of the Falkland Islands, which at that time were considered as crucial territory for the control of the inter-oceanic passage between the Atlantic and Pacific and the southernmost areas of the planet.
      The importance of the Falklands had already been highlighted by George Anson, the first lord of the British Admiralty when he pointed out that "This island must handle the ports and commerce of Chile, Peru, Panama, Acapulco and, in a word, all the Spanish territory in that sea. It will make all our expeditions to these parts more lucrative for us and more fatal for Spain."

    I went to Argentina about 10 years after the war and travelled all over the country. I found the Argentina people very friendly and hospitable and went to the memorial to the Argentine dead which was very sad and it all seemed to be very futile. The war had to be fought but it should never have happened at all.

The great white whale was a magnificent vessel. Belfast, her home was proud of her then. We still are. For the record. The great white whale went into retirement to the sounds of 'Sailing'.

      Roderick Macdonald Hi Roderick, I have just watched your video hosted on another channel czcams.com/video/vh5Z6MgxTsk/video.html - I added a comment thinking it was directed to your channel (in error) so I will post here -
      Roderick
      Thank you for posting this. I enjoyed it and could have handled another hour!
      Absolutely loved the Lancelot episode and expect you have dined out on that one a few times.
      I was 'involved' serving as an engineer on a carrier (the one that the Argentinians claimed to have sunk), so while busy most of the time - had some time to think. As mere engineers we could just not understand the logic of the South Georgia and Goose Green Ops at the time - the only upside I suppose was neutralising Sante Fe (Sub) - but that was mere happen stance. They may have also created fear, uncertainty and doubt for Menendez.
      Just one very minor point so you can amend your speaking notes - at 29:30 Antelope 21 Frigate (not 42).
      I think I have caught up with all your output to You Tube - anymore?😀

    • @RoderickMacdonald
      @RoderickMacdonald  Před 6 lety +3

      Thank you so much for your helpful comments Norman. You are so right about dear Antelope our escort F21 Frigate. I met up recently with a retired Argentine Brigadier General who was a commando on the Falklands/Malvinas. He confirmed the neither South Georgia or Goose Green made any difference to them. As long as they controlled Stanley they controlled negotiations for the Islands. He said they were worried by two events. Firstly when we landed and secondly when they realized we had built an airfield and had harriers ashore. Congratulations on your service as an engineer on board ship. There are no "mere" engineers, just essential and brave ones. Thank you. If you want to watch more you can go to corecorporateconsulting.com/government-services/ which covers most of what has been published on different events. Thank you again Norman.

It was believed that Jerry died from mortar fire, however new evidence indicates that he was killed by a sniper. Two very different causes of death and the body I would have thought gave the cause.

    Argentina facts= third world, poverty stricken and forever a banana republic dictatorship. Britain facts= Thriving democracy and economy, well organized and the falklanders want to be British forever. And don't accuse the falklanders of not being indigenous or the British generally of being imperialist since Argentines themselves are not indigenous to Argentina since they're all of European origin (only the native indians are indiginous to Argentina) and the Argentine nation itself exists only as a result of Spanish imperialism.
    Hechos argentinos = tercer mundo, sumido en la pobreza y para siempre una dictadura de la república bananera. Datos de Gran Bretaña = Democracia y economía prósperas, bien organizados y los habitantes de las Islas Malvinas quieren ser británicos para siempre. Y no acusen a los habitantes de las islas Malvinas de no ser indígenas ni a los británicos en general de imperialistas, ya que los propios argentinos no son indígenas de Argentina ya que todos son de origen europeo (solo los indígenas nativos son indígenas de Argentina) y la nación argentina existe. sólo como resultado del imperialismo español.

    En ese momento, las fuerzas armadas británicas estaban dirigidas por un general que había luchado en Normandía contra la Wehrmacht, un almirante que había luchado en la Batalla del Cabo Norte y un mariscal aéreo jefe que había estado sobre Berlín diez veces en Lancaster. dirigido por un almirante como jefe de personal que había estado en los convoyes malteses. Es difícil pensar en una decisión más tonta que luchar contra hombres así, que en última instancia fueron respaldados por políticos.
    Habiendo dicho todo eso, los comandantes argentinos tenían cierta experiencia en disparar contra manifestantes, sindicalistas y comunistas; y arrojar a 30.000 civiles argentinos desde un helicóptero al océano Atlántico ... Pero nadie que pudiera defenderse
    At the time, the British armed forces were led by a general who had fought in Normandy against the Wehrmacht, an admiral who had fought in the Battle of the North Cape, and a chief air marshal who had been over Berlin ten times in Lancaster. led by an admiral as chief of staff who had been in the Maltese convoys. It's hard to think of a more foolish decision than to fight men like that, who were ultimately backed by politicians.
    Having said all that the Argntine commanders did have some experience in shooting demonstrators, trade unionists and communists; and dropping 30,000 argentine civilians from a helicopter into the Atlantic Ocean.... But nobody who could fight back

    Argentina nunca ha sido dueña de las Islas Malvinas, Argentina no tiene derecho a pelear por algo que nunca han tenido. Había colonos británicos viviendo en las islas desde 1765 antes de que existiera Argentina y probablemente antes de que España supiera incluso que existían las islas. España estaba demasiado ocupada cometiendo genocidio contra los aztecas, mayas e incas por su oro en los lugares más cálidos de América del Sur.

Las Malvinas son Los Malvinos en español, que significa Les Malouines, que es el nombre de los habitantes de St Malo en Bretaña, Francia. Las islas carecían de vida humana y eran completamente desconocidas para los españoles cuando los piratas franceses lo descubrieron en el siglo XVII y los piratas vinieron de St Malo y lo nombraron en honor a la gente de St Malo, de ahí Les Malouines, era una base para que los piratas atacaran Barcos españoles, luego se les unieron piratas británicos, muchos de ellos eran de Cornualles y Devonianos del sudoeste y hablaban un idioma similar al de los bretones y ambos se clasificaron como primos, por lo que se llevaron bien. finalmente fueron expulsados ​​o capturados y colgados por la Royal Navy, luego se convirtieron en las Islas Malvinas. Francia no podía reclamarlos ya que fueron descubiertos por piratas, España no sabía que existían. Gran Bretaña era el único poder que podía reclamarlos como territorio británico, y para asegurarse de que se convirtieran en británicos los colonizaron en 1756 .....
