In the Gully by David Pentland. Goose Green, Falkland Islands, 28th May 1982. British Paratroops of 2 Para trapped in a gorse gully finally break the main Argentine line of defence, opening the way to the final assault on Darwin and Goose Green. Despite being outnumbered, exhausted, and forced to attack over open ground under fire from enemy machine guns, artillery and aircraft, 2 Para succeeded in reaching their objective and giving the British Task Force its first much needed land victory. |
Battle for Wireless Ridge, Falklands, 13th June 1982 by David Pentland. Captain Fields 2 Scimitar and 2 Scorpion light tanks of 3 Troop The Blues and Royals along with the Milan platoon, provide vital covering fire for 2 Paras assault on the North Spur Wireless Ridge (Apple Pie) Following lessons learned at Goose Green additional support was available from artillery, mortars, machine guns and even HMS Ambuscade. Despite the attack being conducted at night, with frequent snow flurries, and minefields, all the objectives were taken, and at first light the road to Port Stanley lay open and unopposed. |
Raid on Pebble Island, Falkland Islands, 1982 by David Pentland. D squadron 22 SAS, made their way to the Argentinian landing strip where they proceeded to destroy 11 enemy aircraft with demolition charges, 66mm rockets and small arms. The destruction of these enemy aircraft, among them Paccaras, most certainly saved many lives among the Task Force and proved a valuable morale booster at the same time. |
Vulcan Twilight by David Pentland. The Vulcan B2 takes off from Ascension Island to play a major role in Operation Corporate, the name given to the British military operation to retake the Falkland Islands. The Vulcan would take part in the seven planned bombing missions during the Falklands campaign codenamed Operation Black Buck. Each mission would require a solo Vulcan Bomber (plus an airborne reserve Vulcan in case of problems with the first) to fly and bomb the Argentinean airfield at Port Stanley, requiring the support of 12 Handley Page Victor K2 tankers of 55 and 57 squadron on the outward journey and 2 Victors and a Nimrod on the return journey. |
Yomping by David Pentland. Falkland Islands, 27th May 1982. Heavily laden Royal Marines during their epic march from San Carlos Bay to the battles for the hills around Port Stanley. |
