FALKLANDS CONFLICT - QE2 RETURNS TO SOUTHAMPTON WATER

[@jamesdavis6917]

I was on the QE2, from 1980 to 1984. Went south in 82. Most amazing time of my life. Great characters.

Commander Rick Jolly,awarded medals by both the UK and Argentina for his work with the wounded,And he was winched from a helicopter into the sea to rescue sailors from a bombed ship

Very interesting set of films. I would just change the title, because the film is not only about the returning of QE2. The explanation says more, but it is formed in a sort of key-words style.

I was at Southampton Docks on this day!! Watched it very personally.

Good archives, but would be much easier to follow the story if it was in chronological order.

[@tee2899]

Foxtrot? No such ship Invincible wasn't hit

[@docdr7199]

@@tee2899I think the reference is to Foxtrot 4, one of HMS Fearless' LCUs, bombed and sunk in Choisuel Sound in an air attack on 8th June.
