The Falkland Islands | Falklands War | CB -TV | 1983

The Cameras from CB - TV Channel 14 visited the small British outpost - The Falkland Islands. Filmed in 1983, just over a year when the conflict between the Argentine occupation force and the British military ended, CB -TV takes a look at life on this rocky outpost, from the child's perspective.

The Falkland islands ... a remote place of natural beauty which unfortunately became the scene of a modern Air-Sea-Land battle in 1982 ! Epic moment when Major Bill Dawson, 2nd in command 7th Gurkha Rifles, announced what he just heard on the radio: "there's a white flag flying over Stanley... Bloody marvellous" 🧐 14 June 1982

Argentinians need to read some history. The Falklands had no native population. They were settled by the British and the French long before Argentina existed. Just because the islands are closer to their country than to the British Isles, is no basis for a claim. And I'm saying this as a German who hates arrogant British colonialism.

Yes they did back in 2013, yet still Argentina lay claim to the islands. Problem now they have is our new carriers, Typhoons and F35s. They will never try and take the islands by force, they will piss and moan and their complaints will fall on deaf ears. It’s over and the islands are British.

the key question is "who is the invader?" because i dont know it, n u seem not to know it either. at least i dont wanna b a propaganda minion, dunce dude. the fact that uk occupies a territory means its theirs by occupation. just that. but private property isn't sth u just take cuz u want it. there r rules, we generally call them "laws". maybe u dont know them cuz uk usually violate international laws, except those which serve its interest.

[@emgwork]

btw, the fact that u state that my facts r wrong is an unsopported fact. furthermore, when i say something, i make sure it is sth that even important britons state n have checked. that's what makes truth what it is. truth is not propaganda u try 2 protect, it is hypoteseses n validating arguments. if u were a little bit as literate as u think u r, u'd know it. it's as old as the greeks.

[@paulmorgan3837]

Daniel we will address your concerns the Falklands have a vibrant fishing industry which brings in millions of £'s every year plus royalty fees from the hydro carbon oil business plus to that you can add monies from the farming sector and tourism. Also the Falklands has almost NO CRIME apart from some traffic violations and consuming to much alcohol and even these are low compared to the number of inhabitants.The Islands also have there own democratically elected government which overseas the running of the islands services all apart from defence.

[@britbazza2529]

Diego I wouldn't make these kind of threats if I was you when youve got nothing to back them up your nation is broke beyond belief. The fact is your nation didn't like the overwhelming superior force of the Royal Marines the Royal Navy or the Royal Air force thirty years ago so just how do you think you Would cope with us now? We have retired the Harrier Jump Jets that your Airforce didn't like to go up against when they realised that Harrier's were in the airspace and basically didn't even leave their airfields because of the technology on board the British Harrier's with the fact that the RAF pilots were a lot better trained than the Argentine pilots. We now have modern state of the art weaponry, ships and planes. We have just put to sea the second largest class of aircraft carrier in the world with the latest technology on board which is equipped with the euro fighter typhoon, fighter aircraft which just happens to be the fastest and most manoeuvrable fighter in the world, we also have drone aircraft that can be flown from 600 miles away and shoot at specific targets on the ground without missing. We have some of the most technologically advanced ships in the world. We are also expanding the number of ships in the Royal Navy too. The UK is opening up our ship yards to build new Naval ships. At the moment the Navy has around 400 Naval vessels on the seven seas. Argentina couldn't cope with 135 British ships could they so imagine the whole Navy there. Of course you know about the training the British Army goes through. While your military sits on its butt all day drinking sangria and using their rifles as walking sticks so good luck trying to talk up a war against the UK over our British territory that is called the Falkland Islands
