We were made redundant by David double taller Cameron, we. could have made a new harrier but the ungrateful british govenment did want to know, it lived by buying american products, where they hope to retire, on 6% income tax and payments for who and what they know about the uk.
If argentine's had taken over this back then, today it would have been be a dumpster.
Holy Cow, I've just realised he was 23(?) on that tour..... I was 20 watching the news about all this. Needless to say I wasn't even remotely capable of commanding the defence of a British Overseas Territory... What an exceptional officer!
It's a shame that a fascist junta created this Malvinas myth, which persists to this day, to galvanise support from the citizenry it was torturing and murdering; creating this whole war. I believe that the British forces were right to rescue the population of the Falklands, not one of which were Argentinian and while I have sympathy for the lost Argentinian troops I have none for their aspirations. Well done Gentlemen!
What I find absolutely fascinating, yet worrying, is the amount of damage these incredibly brave individuals dealt on the invading RUF forces. Minimal gear, minimal weapons and ammunition yet through sheer ingenuity and working in coordination and cooperation with the villagers these troops were able to exercise controlled aggressive tactics to yield a successful repulsive attack. I find it somewhat disheartening that they weren’t able to get the necessary equipment that they should have had once a decision had been made for the troops to stay for longer than initially planned, but it’s a testament to the grit, discipline and commitment these troops demonstrated. To find out that there was no QRF and no additional resources must be have so disheartening yet these brave soldiers dug in deep within their souls to protect innocent villagers.
Now all he needs is his 1940’s gf
I don’t care what negativity is cast upon the days of old; those were indeed more civilized times. Don’t allow select Hollywood depictions to define the entirety of generations of people.
What a waste of UK tax payers money.
One of my favourite meals today, the suet savoury bacon roll from the Be-Ro cook book! 😋
About one tenth of the male population in jail for nonceing. That's what the Falklands are like.
It was an honor to be part of the Danish contribution there. And we'll be back again next year. The Estonians were very professional, and it was such a different experience to be on an exercise where civilians just go about their daily lives. No way in hell we'd be allowed in Denmark to just roll tanks down the main street in large towns.
I remember being there in late 1982 (RAF), first living and working from Tents at San Carlos.
Unfortunately, most Argentinians have not moved on after the conflict ended in 1982. They’re still stuck in the past wanting to claim the islands for themselves. The Argentine government could arm their military with Russian and Chinese weapons and equipment if they want to, but they will still lose and they know it. Argentina, please, do not start another war.
Looks peacefull and lovely
Most Muslims have never thanked Britain, most aren’t even aware of this because it’s a success story. If the Brits were the perpetrators, we’d be getting reminded everyday. More Muslims have joined ISIS than the British army.
knew this guy was gay from the moment the door opened, love his way of life in 40s, fantastic, alan turing lived like this in bletchley
Everything has a season.

wonderful, simple life. Glad he's living his dream.
been living there for 4 years with my family
Even though I was born in 1970 in Rural Ireland, I’m beginning to realise that modern life has become so toxic that people are turning away from modern life and are going back to tradition as much as possible - WW2 was known as “the Emergency” in Ireland, as the Irish Free State government under Eamon De Valera as Taoiseach refused to go along with British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill’s demands for Ireland to enter the war effort, even though many Irishmen & Irishwomen travelled to England to take part in the war - any British sailors or airmen landing in Ireland were quietly shipped back to England, while many Germans were interned in Ireland for the duration of the war, along with old IRA men left over from the Easter Rising of 1916 and the Treaty of 1921 that resulted in a very bitter Irish Civil War in 1922 - we Irish only became a Republic in 1949, yet the Nazis had bombed several Irish towns during the war because of Ireland’s unofficial support of the British, even though we were neutral
Don’t forget we have found all the oil we need found ready to pump in the Falkland Islands, why aren’t we using it?
I love that book 'Peepo' by Janet & Allan Ahlberg & bought it for my son who was born in 1988. We loved the illustrations & the story. I still have it in my bookcase in the study. Shirley Hughes is another brilliant children's author & illustrator having created the Alfie & Annie Rose series although they were set later than the 1940's Loved this video, thank you for airing it ❤
I'm studying bachelor in Photography. Doing assignment on this photo. It's obviously a fake staged photo. Even locals identified the background where the photo was taken.
This is absolutely amazing I’d love to live in the 1940s absolutely wonderful to see, much better then this modern world 😊
And how exactly would russia resupply the russian-occupied Königsberg? There is only a railroad connecting russia to this exclave via Lithuania and Belarus, akin to the situation during the Cold War in West Berlin, where it was totally surrounded by the Soviet-controlled East Germany, so the West had to run its supplies to West Berlin under Soviet consent because the Soviets controlled all the roads around West Berlin, or the only thing the West could do was air drops (heard of Berlin Airlift?) So the situation now is reversed, originally russia still had the sea route to hope for because it's also a port, unlike Berlin, so they might ship stuff there from st. putinsburg since there were two neutral countries on the way that they could go pass, but with the developments in Finland and Sweden, the Baltic Sea is now practically a Nato lake, so both the land route and sea route can be easily cut off in case of war. Now if only the germans had a bit of guts and backbones left so they can come out and say that their ancestral home of Königsberg shall return to the fatherland, and this could all be over.
I would love to spend time with him. He is so cute and sweet.
the british think they have the devine right to continue to occupy islands thousands of miles from their own land.they were run out of Asia parts of Africa the Caribbean for the most part and central and South America where they occupied other people's countries. Hopefully as the UK falls apart under the weight of its own greed, the malvinas will revert back to their rightful owners.
Absolutely braindead take. Britain wasn't "run out" of the vast majority of its colonies. And Britain claimed the Falklands when they were uninhabited and Argentina was nowhere to be found. Argentina has no claim to them.
My old schools reverend (Sherborne school) went to live on the falklands around 2017 or so, and it’s funny how he made sure to save up and take like 2 crates worth of shotgun shells to accompany him for the sheer amount of birds that reside on the island
I first saw a short interview on bbc with Ben was so glad you spent more time with him ! If he ever needed money he could open his house up for tours ! It really is amazing !
It is the same all around the world , as we get along and have no problems with our neighbor's/friends then no uprising but afterwards well every one has pitch forks and all the goody goodies turn Evil. we live in a society of Hypocrites
The heroic people of Malta deserved more than the George Cross. They deserved full equal-status in the UK as a British Overseas Terroritory, which shamefully denied to them by scoundrels in government in London. Britain never had a better friend than Malta. But in Britain, still today, we are ruled by traitors.
i think it's brilliant ,
Chidi onwe
why do british terrorists have to interfere in every conflict in the world?
I have always struggled with the military as I have bad attitude to hierarchy and can't stop myself questioning everything. This is one of my failings. I do however understand its necessity. I have the up most respect for anyone who serves and the brutal experience many go through. I am also aware that this experience breaks some and makes some. The job you do in conveying these stories is invaluable. The stories for most are unimaginable and its important for people to recognise the serisouse of the situations that occur in a military environment. I also think that many outside the military could learn from the humility and lack of ego by people who have done brave acts.
Ben would fit in well at Beamish in the UK
Everything has be taken on balance - the 1940s for instance - on one side there's the holocaust, but on the other, there's Glen Miller
I at 43 struggle with what they spoke about around 16 minutes. The wife makes sure we have physical pictures up around the house, but we do not have a photo album any longer. I have mine from growing up as does my wife, but our children do not. We take so many photos and videos now that a life is almost entirely captured. I make sure to not take to many photos and just enjoy life. Maybe I should actually create a photo album of key moments.
A NATO BASE IN SOUTH ATLANTIC...THAT WAS THE REASON USA AND UK FOOLED ARGENTINA INTO WAR!....PROPER SCUMBAGS THEY DID THE SAME IN UKRAINE COUP IN 2013
it really isn't a nato base mate
@@brickistic8188 yes it is ! and now usa ,uk and argentina are allies because all this artic disputes with russia ! so the two countries who fooled argentina into war now want to be "friends" GEOPOLITICS
Spoilt by the load music
Look's like a great place to visit, I wonder what it's like in the winter-time?
it's pretty cold, lots of snow!
RIP Jimmy... Amazing guy.
How has this only 90K views? I've seen "dark docs" videos - which are terrible btw - released at the same time on the same subject with 750K views. Something is not right. Its either an issue with listing or you're being SB'd.
this was exactly how I thought. Also... I bloody hope the cargo is different.

Bringing out the book was a cry for help. Something bad happened to him as a kid.
I've been to Malta twice on holiday. Absolutely wonderful place, especially if you are a history buff like me
