Falklands task force: Veterans recall quick-notice 1982 deployment

Описание к видео Falklands task force: Veterans recall quick-notice 1982 deployment

Veterans have been sharing their memories of when the UK deployed a task force to the Falkland Islands 40 years ago.

In response to Argentina's invasion of the Falklands in April 1982, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher ordered the deployment of a force including two aircraft carriers, more than 120 vessels and thousands of personnel.

It was the largest operation of its kind since the Second World War.
