Battle Day is a public holiday in the #Falklands, remembering this and other battles and the people who served and sacrificed in them. Today veterans from @SAMA82office@twitter.com #Falklands40 are taking part in a parade to the Battle Memorial.

„Eine erfolgreiche Operation zur Rückeroberung der Falklandinseln ist auf den Abstand von knapp 13000 km von den britischen Inseln vollkommen ausgeschlossen. Erst recht in Unterzahl und mit Sea Harriern ist keine Lufthoheit zu erreichen.“

RT @WarDiaryF82: Thought provoking to be on the beaches north of Stanley close to where the Argentine landings took place on this day 40 years ago. Such a contrast though, with a very different type of amphibious landing taking place. #Falklands40
