@swordfishradio
@swordfishradio Жыл бұрын
Hi, the weather was outstanding. However, this is low season and it can change quickly. If it rains, you may either be overnight or worst case a couple of days. Ignore all the weather forecasts for Male as they never reflect the weather in the atolls. Hopefully Komandoo have sorted their management issues out as the place was getting tired and unorganised. Komandoo is overpriced and if we had a choice, we would go to Meeru instead.

What a splendid bit of video, thank you! I’m currently reading James O’Connell’s book “Three Days in June”, which is laden with personal testimony and detail but seeing some of this position “close up”, really drives home the difficulties faced by 3 Para on that horrendous night? Many years ago, a member of the Regiment wrote in a memorial book at Arnhem, to the veterans and fallen “You set the standard”! Well, I don’t think that having watched this, that anybody could ever say, that that “standard” wasn’t “met”, or equalled.....it beggars belief that 3 Para actually “achieved the aim” at all, given the nature of the terrain and natural features and it vindicates the spirit in which the Regiment trains its young men, that this battle was the success that it was! I had a friend who served in 2 Para and who had battled away at Goose Green and Wireless Ridge, a gentle giant of a fella. Like the rest of you, an iron fist covered in colourful quilt.....

Mick, the factory closed suddenly a few years ago now but I believe the ovens are still standing. No bottle ovens are allowed to be destroyed now as they all have preservation orders on them. Sadly some in the city are in really poor condition and may well collapse anyway. The best preserved are at Gladstone and are truly amazing! As there were so many years ago (over 2000), occasionally old footings still get discovered when digging car parks and the like. Stoke is a city saturated in pottery quite literally.

I have watched a few documentaries about the Falklands land battles. But your video in daylight shows the task 3 Para had to take Longdon. The steep terrain, the crags, darkness, extreme cold were all their enemy without even mentioning hundreds of Argentinans who had been dug in for weeks and had the advantage of the high ground. I have total respect for the men of 3 Para and what they achieved. What really shocked me was how young some of those who died were. Some were as young as 17/18.
