I was there from Feb to May '85 as one of the last bunch of lads on the Harriers (1453 flight) RAF Stanley. It was one of the best postings I ever had and I always have fond memories of the place, and tons of photos. The Globe seems to have upped it's game since then, it was so bad I took photos of it and it's toilets, which were truly minging. We used to get a four tonner into Stanley and get dropped off and picked up at the Globe every 10th day (our day off). Alcohol and cigs were remarkably cheap and plentiful. So cheap in fact I managed to save £1200 in four months and then promptly pissed it all against a wall when I returned to Wittering. Ahhh. Good times. If you were there in Feb to May in 85 and were on the RAF Coastel when the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and everyone had to evacuate, sorry, that was us pissed up.

I was at RAF mount pleasant in 1992 for 4 months resident infantry company , went to mare harbor, onion range , shag cove , port Stanley will never forget it I had a brilliant time and a experience I will never forget the Falklands is absolutely beautiful especially in November the temperature was in the 80s and lovely and sunny

I was there back in the day on the clean up , most squaddies were living on a ship in the harbour but lucky enough I was attached to the Stanley hospital as a driver and we had cards made up with You just had the "Stanley Hopsital Independent Taxis Service" Didnt go down to well !

BFBS is an excellent channel. We have now watched quite a few of your programmes and they are all very professional: interesting, educational, even entertaining. The videography can be superb (as in this case) and the presentation is excellent. Thank you very much, BFBS and especially the BFBS creative team.

Thank you for a lovely video. I was working in Western Australia when I was called up to do my bit for the liberation of the Falklands. The official decision made was that it would be over in a couple of weeks and that I would not get back to Aldershot let alone Port Stanley in time to be of any use. My platoon commander was killed at Goose Green and after watching your video I think he would be proud of the legacy he and many others made through their actions to ensure the Falklands are what Falklanders want their home to be.

The only oppressors in this story were the Argentines.Within days of invading the islands,they were making people drive on the opposite side of the road,and when school teachers refused to teach Argentine history the soldiers closed the school,so you can see the way that was going and how it would have ended up for the islanders had the Argentines prevailed.

The UK also gave the Falklands a referendum on whether they wanted to remain a territory of the UK, or leave and potentially become Argentinian. There was an almost 100% voter turnout. Only 3 people from the entire of the Falklands wanted to leave the UK, there was 2 blank votes, every single other person on the Islands wanted to remain British. Argentina claiming the islands when there's literally only 3 individuals there supporting them. I don't think iv ever seen a country claim something that so few people want.

Did a six month tour down there in 84,the Globe had sawdust on the floor back then,Penguin colonies stink to hell but what a beautiful place it is,I was Reme out at 2 Field Workshop at Moody Brook back then.

Nice piece of journalism. The Falklands is very safe. It's London, and many other parts of the UK that are not safe anymore 😟

Stationed there back in 1987, absolutely loved it. RAF Fire service. Would love to go back for the solitude and wildlife.

Ive just come back from the falklands and its an amazing place with so many lovely people who all live happily together. Special special place indeed. ❤

Great video and didn't disregard one aspect like the military for another. Good balance and I didn't realise the base was so big

Nice Video, not as i remember, i arrived on May 21st 1982 and left 8 months later. Always in my heart and mind, loss of mates, but one of the greatest time in my life, doing what we were trained for, protecting the Island's population from a bully and invader.

I have been to the Falkland Islands. Beautiful and full of wild nature. Great place for an nature watching holiday.

if i was still in.......i would opt for this posting! the sea trout fishing is amazing

Top video guys. Worth noting that the resources in the waters around the Falklands 'up the ante' somewhat, so worth the continuing military presence to discourage the resurgence of any stupid ideas from the western direction. Also a sound out to the Falkland Islands Regiment, PT local soldiers who serve to protect their British home. So its not just regular troops on the island, but the islanders themselves who contribute to its defence and deterrence.

Hi. Somewhere on BFBS (on YT) there is a long programme about the Falklands and it spends a while on the local regiment, which, we are told, is well-integrated with the UK-wide military. Luckily under the PM (Boris Johnson - like him or not this is good news) we are now investing more on defence and modernising many aspects - most notably the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. We should absolutely protect the Falklands; we did not send so many to die and be wounded, in my lifetime, just to hand it to a new generation of foreign claimants. It is ironic that, prior to the invasion, there were 43 Royal Marines stationed there and an ice-patrol ship (Endurance) assigned to the whole territories. Now look at the Queen's military presence - very substantial, with proven re-supply and reinforcement capabilities and a capability to set-sail a whole Carrier Support Group with fifth-generation combat aircraft aboard.

I quite agree. I did two tours down there abouot that time and as a result had five winters and no summer in the space of two years. Even back then as a serving soldier the one thing I was impressed by was the beauty of the the region. Even if the locals don't consider it windy unless the wind speed is over 35 knots. Anything less is considered merely breezy

I was lucky enough to go down there to stay with the family of a friend who grew up in the Falklands back in 2007. It doesn't look like all that much have changed on the surface since then, which is good because it's a very beautiful place with a proud and friendly people. Though I'm sure the economy has come along a way since then too. Great film and much that looks familiar, even the beer in the Globe :D!

I did a tour down there shortly after the war travelling back to UK on Uganda and we still used to get the odd Argentinian aircraft get too near the islands to be chased off by our Phantoms! We had to 'crash out' several times to disperse our Chinooks to safe locations flying in the dark with NVG's on no lights! I loved the place, it was how England 'used to be'. We were based at Kellys Garden at San Carlos. We go to see the amazing people and the scenery. There is a 5 mile long white beach called 'Paloma Beach' was home for the Emporer Penguins. Im glad we took it back and basically if they try to take it again......guess what......we will be ready.

Best posting ever.

Great vlog. It actually makes me want to visit.

I’ve spent Christmas in Port Stanley - being in the Southern hemisphere it is really hot in December. On Boxing Day the Islanders have horse racing. You can drive out in The Camp and have a barbecue and cool the beers in one of the numerous streams. You can advance-book a 9 seater plane and go island hopping to see the wildlife.

i got half way through this and after seeing how big port stanley had got, it occured to me that i hadnt seen any mine fields so i ggogled it and then you showed it at the end anyway.thats awesome that they cleared all the mines.

What amazes me is the Falklands has a GDP higher than countries like Albania and Norway, which is incredible when you take into account how the Falklands scale is typically understated as 'just a rock'.

A beautiful island with undisturbed nature, fresh air and not crowded. The sky in The Falklands always look grey and that can get a bit depressing. Also, it seems to be windy most of the times, it’s probably cold even in summer.

I can't believe that there wasn't any fresh fish to be had and was told they didn't know when they would have any. The dross that was served up was bar far the worst fish and chips I have ever had and at £14.99 per serving was an outrage. As for the rest of our time, I am glad I got to see the battle areas with a guide who knew what he was talking about. Well worth the visit and given the opportunity would go back.

Definitely going to have to travel to the Falkland Islands 🇫🇰

What a beautiful thriving place it is. You can bet it wouldn't be like this under Argentina control

@@mikeshilovski1512 Because Argentina was a military dictatorship at the time, combined with a horrible economy and just terrible human right abused. All these things combined didn't promise a nice future for the Falkland under Argentine rule. The current population would've probably been culturly erased as well, judging by the nationalistic fervor most Argentines still seem to have to the whole thing, which wouldn't have been that good for the current population.

The Falklands aren't costing the UK Government any cash, but it's a great place to do certain military exercises that aren't feasible at home i.e. win -win for the UK.

Good traditional story telling thank you. Airbridge Jockey C130 Specialist!

My eyes got misty 7:09 as he describes how Fulton Islanders love the low flying jets, compared to civilians elsewhere in the world who complain about low flying jets. The falcon Islanders love their sound of freedom

I wish they would encourage more immigration to boost population and commerce on the Falklands.

Only British immigration mind. Don't want the English/Scottish culture to be destroyed like in the UK by mass migration

there should be more investment into those beautiful islands

Cracking place, I wonder where the pub landlord is from he sounds like he's from St Helena. If anyone ever visits Malvinas house try there deep fried Calamari it's amazing!

Nice place to chill ☺️

I'm not one of those flag waving/brexiteer/global britain nationalistic types but I'm so proud of what we did back in 82 to kick out a fascist invasion and ultimately free not just the Falklands but possibly the Argentinian people too from the junta. Possibly the last 'good' war the UK thought. It's a great shame that it's largely forgotten in the UK; we should at least have a memorial day or something. The Falklands will remain free for as long as the islanders want to and Britain will always support them.

What's wrong with waving your flag and loving your country and want it to do well globally. ...That's the problem with the UK people like you who turn your nose up at people being proud to be British and showing it.

falklands doesnt seem like a bad deployment ngl.

Just found out a couple of weeks ago that my elder sister who walked out on the family and disappeared 20 years ago is now living on the Falkland islands ...have no idea where but she's there..

Beautiful. It could use some trees. I love it.

In 1988, I spent a year working in Buenos Aires and with hundreds of 19-22 year olds, and with their parents and employers. It fascinated me to hear their answer: "If money was no object, where would you send your kids for education?" The UK. "If you could migrate to any place on earth, where?" Miami and London. (The streets of Miami, they believed from TV shows, were paved in cocaine and gold. sigh) The older BA'ers said "We'll have another failing tyrant who'll dream up reasons that a new war will save his bad administration, and it will happen just like the last time."
