@neonbubble I brought up the Falklands War to the wife the other day; to my surprise, she had never heard of it. Amazeballs.

My mate posted extracts from his dad's published diary of events on Hermes during the #FalklandsWar last year on Twitter to coincide with the 40th anniversary of it all. It was interesting reading.

For #ThrowbackThursday here's a shot from 1982 when my family - like so many other families in #Portsmouth - headed down to #Southsea to see off the task force setting sail for the #Falklands following the invasion by Argentina. That is the aircraft carrier #HMSHermes in shot as our family was friends with another, the father of which ran the boiler rooms aboard.

There's an interesting #ASUAntarctica2022 thread to follow if you like #science and scenery, and since they're in the #Falklands today I thought I'd share some #TravelPhotography from when we visited back in 2016. We opted to explore the #FalklandsWar battlefields rather than nature options on that trip; you can see wreckage of an Argentinian #Chinook #Helicopter in the third shot. The first #photo is the mizzen mast of the #SSGreatBritain in #Stanley.

Anyone remember sweeties with blue and white stripes called "Chew Chew Argentinas". Then the #FalklandsWar happened and suddenly they were called "Chew Chew Colas" 🤣

Command: Modern Operations - Falklands now available. Probably one of the most detailed looks at the conflict in wargame form. https://www.matrixgames.com/game/command-modern-operations
On the board wargame side be sure to check out Mrs Thatcher’s War. https://www.whitedoggames.com/falklands

New Wings Over Europe video:

Argentine FAA Mirage III (IAI Dagger) anti-ship strike.

Had to use AGM-84 Harpoon missile as a proxy for the Exocet.
