SS Canberra, the Return, July 11, 1982

This is a heavily edited version of the original live ITV broadcast of the Canberra returning to Southampton on July 11, 1982 after a three month voyage in the South Atlantic. Canberra was a key element of the British Task Force sent to liberate the Falkland Islands from Argentine invasion. The edited version focuses on 3 Commando Brigade and 59 Independent Commando Squadron Royal Engineers. My apologies for many other interviews that have been cut from this version to reduce the duration to below 15 minutes.

[@burnbrae6948]

Thanks for putting this up Rod. I was there with my father welcoming my brother home. He will tell you he is not a hero but for me he was. Not because he was fighting a war to protect Maggie's re-election but purely because he survived and came home. He was and still is sad because of those that never got to go home to their families. Both British & Argentinian.

[@vinm300]

@Justin Time , you are quite right but if his brother fought there he's allowed to criticise any politician he likes. Roderick Macdonald often points out in his lectures that the war led to the collapse of the Argentinian dictatorship which had killed 30,000 of its own citizens. For which thy received no thanks (from the Argentinians).

[@claudiolamoso952]

@Justin Time and what respect there was in 1833 when the UK invaded the Falklands and evicted 200 Argentines, then implanting British settlers ?

[@claudiolamoso952]

@Justin Time Investigate attempts to force British occupation of Spanish possessions in the southern Atlantic. Invasions of the Rio de la Plata in 1806 and 1807, Malvinas 1833, Confederacion Argentina 1838-1846. Remember the British Falklands retreat in 1774.

[@claudiolamoso952]

@Justin Time On June 10, 1770, the then Governor of Buenos Aires, Francisco de Paula Bucarelli, ordered the eviction of the British occupants of the Falkland Islands, which at that time were considered as crucial territory for the control of the inter-oceanic passage between the Atlantic and Pacific and the southernmost areas of the planet. The importance of the Falklands had already been highlighted by George Anson, the first lord of the British Admiralty when he pointed out that "This island must handle the ports and commerce of Chile, Peru, Panama, Acapulco and, in a word, all the Spanish territory in that sea. It will make all our expeditions to these parts more lucrative for us and more fatal for Spain."

I went to Argentina about 10 years after the war and travelled all over the country.

Roderick Macdonald Hi Roderick, I have just watched your video hosted on another channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJmYi2mDnN2Hqc0 - I added a comment thinking it was directed to your channel (in error) so I will post here - Roderick Thank you for posting this. I enjoyed it and could have handled another hour! Absolutely loved the Lancelot episode and expect you have dined out on that one a few times. I was 'involved' serving as an engineer on a carrier (the one that the Argentinians claimed to have sunk), so while busy most of the time - had some time to think. As mere engineers we could just not understand the logic of the South Georgia and Goose Green Ops at the time - the only upside I suppose was neutralising Sante Fe (Sub) - but that was mere happen stance. They may have also created fear, uncertainty and doubt for Menendez. Just one very minor point so you can amend your speaking notes - at 29:30 Antelope 21 Frigate (not 42). I think I have caught up with all your output to You Tube - anymore?😀

[@RoderickMacdonald]

Thank you so much for your helpful comments Norman. You are so right about dear Antelope our escort F21 Frigate. I met up recently with a retired Argentine Brigadier General who was a commando on the Falklands/Malvinas. He confirmed the neither South Georgia or Goose Green made any difference to them. As long as they controlled Stanley they controlled negotiations for the Islands. He said they were worried by two events. Firstly when we landed and secondly when they realized we had built an airfield and had harriers ashore. Congratulations on your service as an engineer on board ship. There are no "mere" engineers, just essential and brave ones. Thank you. If you want to watch more you can go to corecorporateconsulting.com/government-services/ which covers most of what has been published on different events. Thank you again Norman.

En ese momento, las fuerzas armadas británicas estaban dirigidas por un general que había luchado en Normandía contra la Wehrmacht, un almirante que había luchado en la Batalla del Cabo Norte y un mariscal aéreo jefe que había estado sobre Berlín diez veces en Lancaster. dirigido por un almirante como jefe de personal que había estado en los convoyes malteses. Es difícil pensar en una decisión más tonta que luchar contra hombres así, que en última instancia fueron respaldados por políticos. Habiendo dicho todo eso, los comandantes argentinos tenían cierta experiencia en disparar contra manifestantes, sindicalistas y comunistas; y arrojar a 30.000 civiles argentinos desde un helicóptero al océano Atlántico ... Pero nadie que pudiera defenderse At the time, the British armed forces were led by a general who had fought in Normandy against the Wehrmacht, an admiral who had fought in the Battle of the North Cape, and a chief air marshal who had been over Berlin ten times in Lancaster. led by an admiral as chief of staff who had been in the Maltese convoys. It's hard to think of a more foolish decision than to fight men like that, who were ultimately backed by politicians. Having said all that the Argntine commanders did have some experience in shooting demonstrators, trade unionists and communists; and dropping 30,000 argentine civilians from a helicopter into the Atlantic Ocean....

You are quite right. In those days, that was what was expected for officers, much as it was with BBC announcers as well. I'm pleased to say that has changed since. Thank you for your astute observation.

Argentina no tiene ningún argumento. Las Malvinas nunca han sido territorio argentino. En 1832 se llevaron las Malvinas de Gran Bretaña, que había estado allí durante unos 70 años. Un año después, Gran Bretaña también los volvió y los ha tenido desde entonces. Argentina tiene cero reclamo sobre las islas.

Las Malvinas tienen una historia colonial exactamente igual que Argentina. La única diferencia es que los antepasados de los argentinos masacraron y desplazaron a los nativos americanos. No hubo asentamientos de nativos americanos en las Malvinas.

@@guillermoperalta9576 I can see that you have a very biased view on history with half truths and complete lies. Interesting that you mention Dunkerque as some sort of shame? You clearly know nothing about how and why the troops got stranded and even less about the incredible story of their rescue. But what you do fail to mention is that during the war, Argentina remained on very friendly terms with the Nazis and had been known to take in many escaping German & Italian Nazi high ranking officers. The same people who were responsible for the death camps across Germany and Poland. That my friend is what I call a 'tremendous shame'.

Hector, the Argentine air force (very brave pilots) had 10 hours of bombing raids to try and sink her but failed. Apart from a few bullet holes, the white whale was unharmed. My brother was on the ship at the time so very pleased about that and pleased that you did not get your wish.

I am not an expert on this subject but as far as the people I know within 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines I do not know of anyone who committed suicide. You might be interested on this article which gives a more informed opinion: www.theguardian.com/uk/defence-and-security-blog/2013/may/14/falklands-veterans-suicide-army

[@grahamlait1969]

The ex-servicemens society SSAFA is now claiming that it is probable that more Falklands veterans have committed suicide since the end of the conflict than were killed during it. This claim cannot be verified, nor can the degree to which their service in the Falklands contributed to the suicides... but still, it gives you pause for thought... or at least, it certainly should.

Too bad that the Brit air defence was so good that the bombs got dropped too fast and too low, most did not explode, missiles fired from too far, same result. Although the British air defence was inadequate, for that time, it forced the Argentine pilots to release their munitions under great pressure, leading to many failures. If only you're countrymen had been able to control their nerves? HaHa!

[@jasitweb]

No, thank you, for surrendering. Obviously it meant a lifetime of humiliation for the Argentinian nation, but it was the right thing to do. Shame it wasnt done 2 months earlier and we could have saved 258 british people, but better late than never.
