The Falklands Experience

The first of a new Tuesday Documentary series. What was it like to be summoned unexpectedly to war? What was it like, to cope with the problems of command in a hard intense campaign 8,000 What was it like to go into action at the controls of a Harrier fighter, to be a sitting target in 'Bomb Alley', to abandon ship and fight for your life in the water, to be in the middle of an infantry attack (whether as civilian or soldier) to be wounded in battle? What was it like to be doctor or a nurse coping with gravely injured men? Did men get a 'buzz' from going to war? What was the feeling among the troops and the Falklanders when the white flags appeared over Port Stanley - just one year ago today? This film is about the personal experience of some of the men and women involved in the Falklands conflict of 1982, not about its causes, politics or strategy
