Falklands War | Life after the Falklands War | Falkland Islanders | 1983 

Having been in the Royal Navy and been back twice since most recent 2017 the islands are a thriving modern community with all the comforts you would get in a small town ,hospital prison easy to get around a tribute to the hard work of the islanders who have diversified to makea modern living enviroment

The mines were finally cleared this year, 38 years after the war ended

Was down the islands for a visit as a returning Veteran last week and Tony Anderson took us out in his 4 x 4 around the battlefield memorials. He is doing well and is a top man.

I’d love to visit the Falklands, looks like such a peaceful, calm way of life.

Would love to see an update program on how those interviewed or family members are doing now.

Oh How I miss the Thames TV intro.

Thanks for posting this.

These programs are fantastic, and saddening at the same time, maybe the future will see a return to this quality of programing.

That corporal teaching the kids is a very lovable sight.

Argentina fought for the islands. Great Britain fought for the islanders

Eccellente video documento,Thames Tv,grazie!

Aaah, that's why they sent me to Saunders in 86. Gazelles and a Scout, what a trip down memory lane!

The Falklands have never belonged to Argentina. Therefore, Argentina should not own something it has no right to own and has never owned. The UK is the lawful Original Sovereign of the Falklands, and claimed them first, in 1594, 222 years before Argentina existed. In 1825 Argentina submitted a full description of all of its lands, islands, latitudes and longitudes claimed, to the UK, in order to be recognised in the Treaty of Friendship: this did not include the Falklands, and Argentina was accepted as such. In 1829 Argentina tried to clandestinely seize the Falklands and ignored a British Formal Diplomatic Protest, and a second in 1832 when they tried to install a governor. In 1833 a British warship asked a trespassing Argentine warship to leave the area which it duly did. The British flag was hoisted and British Sovereignty resumed. Argentina protested intermittently until 1849 when it gave up its claim in the Convention of Settlement, after which, Argentina issued not one Formal Diplomatic Protest for 97 years until 1946, nor were the Falklands mentioned once in the Argentine Congress from ratification of the Convention in 1850 until 91 years later in 1941. Since then, using a settled dispute as a pretext for a fictitious new one, aimed at uniting the people behind a common cause, Argentina has harassed and bullied the Falkland Islanders, denied their human rights, campaigned against their existence, attacked, invaded and annexed their country, covered the place in land mines and dead bodies, and in the present day, bullies their stallholders at trade shows and even their girls badminton team. No country on earth actually has less right to the Falklands than Argentina after its shambolic abuses, and in 2013 the Falkland Islanders, the only people who can determine the sovereignty and political future of the Falkland Islands, voted by 99.8% for UK Sovereignty. The matter is settled.

My husband was a Royal Irish Ranger and travelled there 40 years ago today...just 10 days after we were married for 6 months.

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

That one sheep shearer's so hairy himself, he looks like maybe he ought to have one of the other shearers give him a trim.

Indiscriminate and unmarked mine fields - Argentina's shameful legacy.

Decades later and Argentina still with this childish behaviour

Just a question, if sheep continually grow wool, what if you loose one? Also did they evolve from goats or something so it produced wool. I'm confused as to how they came became sort of domesticated and needing humans to sheer them in order for them to live normal lives? Sorry to sound so American.

Falklands are British and staying British.

The Falklands are more accessible now, because there is a new airport. This has allowed a tourist industry to flourish.

Falkland island accent is very similar to a New Zealand one

I would love to go there. It looks beautiful. More British than British 8000 miles away. Very strange 8000 miles away and it doesn't look like it.

I was posted there end 1985, it was only a 12 week posting, luckily the airfield just been completed so that they could land jumbo jets, otherwise it would have been another 2 weeks there and back by ship, screw that! I would have really been pissed off! At least it was Falklands Summer Time too! Not much else to say about it really...

That place is a shrine to the greatness and bravery of the British military. If anyone, anyone ever gives that over to the invaders they should be imprisoned for life for Treason

I was born a few months after the Falklands war. I had an opportunity to go there to work for an oil exploration company in 2015 but the oil price collapse ruined it.

Was hoping to see my dad in this,he was over there with the RCT 👍

Its 30 years on, is there any kind of follow up doc on life now?

Was there any land reform in the end?

For a split second, I thought The Benny Hill Show was about to start!

Una pregunta. Quien es el que está en la moto?

First time I've seen this. I didn't watch anything about the Falklands; not until this year. 40 years. It's been a breath.

For some very good mates, there is no after the war, 🇬🇧

In the States, I remember rumblings about fighting this war for a few corporations. Glad the government bought them out and redistributed the land. Argentina would have done the same, but only a few Generals and politicians would have gotten the wealth.

Modern-day Argentina consists of land stolen by colonists from the Indigenous people of South America but they lay claim to the Falklands as a birthright. It's a weird sense of entitlement but it's not difficult to see when the imported population of the Falklands wants no part of the imported colonial legacy that is Argentina.

I am from Perú I had the Racso and T-Rex atomic bomb user I used to watch videos of military themes The Peruvian government, the armed forces of Peru and the Peruvian people must pressure Pedro Castillo to apologize to England for saying in the UN that the Malvinas are Argentine Peru must be neutral and never again get involved in the Malvinas conflict, because I will tell you this that surprised everyone the Englishman Martin George Guisse was born in Gloucestershire England, a family of the local nobility was the son of Lady Elizabeth Wright and Sir John Guisse first baronet, the Englishman Martin George Guisse was the first founder of the Peruvian Navy and, in December 1821, he was decorated by San Martín with the brand new Order of the Sun, along with other Englishmen such as Guillermo Miller, Robert Forster and Diego Paroissien, the English Guisse rose through the ranks to officer in the British Royal Navy, where he served during the Napoleonic wars, once the war in Europe was over, he resigned from the British navy and bought his own ship to depart for Latin America and take part in the wars of independence, Guisse's great-grandson is the Peruvian aviator hero Jorge Chavez, After having settled in our national territory, San Martín appointed him rear admiral of the newly created Peruvian navy and he participated in the blockade of the port of Callao, until it was interrupted by a Spanish naval expedition, after this confrontation was unfinished he decided to go to Guayaquil where, after the war broke out with Gran Colombia, he fought and took the port of Guayaquil, but at the price of his life. He died in Guayaquil one night on November 23, 1828, his body was taken to Callao in Peru, in case of war England against some other country the Peruvian government and Peruvian president must support England and deliver heavy war material, give fighter jets and send Peruvian soldiers to the English armed forces in gratitude to England because England financed the independence and liberation of Peru, the British also helped the Argentine José de San Martín, the English founded everything in Peru cities, companies, banks , freemasonry, inka kola drink, they made soccer popular in Peru, schools, and many more things, etc. the Peruvian people must apologize to England and to the English people we are in time to strengthen the economic and military alliance, without England Peru would not exist and neither would the Peruvians exist, without the English we are nothing, without England Peru would continue to be a colony of Spain, thank you England for financing and liberating Peru in its independence, England, English people, José de San Martín Argentine people will continue to be the liberators of Peru today and always Greetings from Perú Lima

They have an accent very close to South Island NZ.

“Heavily armed goons”. Yep

Fascinating

It's interesting how the Falklanders' accent sounds slightly West Country.

Perhaps Britain should have invaded Argentina and established a South American Gibralter? Why didn't they, teach them a bloody good lesson.

Send the bills to argies and make them pay

wow once upon a time!

How long did the garrison stay there

They playing Blondie at 4:58 lol

The pucara ground attack aircraft were not destroyed by harriers . They were destroyed by the SAS in a night raid

I wonder whatever happened to Tony Anderson and family

Can I visit those islands?

Off shore oil

so..............why were the argies not mabe to clear up the mine fields? they layed them, should have given them a bloody shovel and told................not repatriation until this stuff is cleared!.

Good 👍 on them keep it going god bless 🙏 all

Anyone know if those Pucarra hulks are still there?

Before T.V thought it needed to be interesting and entertaining

Argentinians should PAY!

Wonder what happened about these 'landlords?'...Do the people now own the land?

Are there any soldiers still on the island..??

Don't fuck with the UK

Order from CBFFI, stop calling the Falkland islanders “Bennys” (after Benny the handyman in Crossroads, a tv drama from the era, he always wore a bobble hat and spoke with a slow cadence), so we stopped calling them “Bennys” and called the “stills”, translated = “Still Bennys”, it wasn’t really derogatory but obviously somebody somewhere down the line took offence, but it really didn’t stop us. It might sound strange but the 4 months I spent there were very enjoyable, it was after MPA opened so the living conditions were totally different from the days of the Coastells, a huge bonus for everyone detached down there. The best thing about the tour was the islands themselves, rugged, and in my opinion a step back in time, I would say untouched by human hands, but for obvious reasons it was tainted by us humans, what a waste. The Argentinians don’t want the Falklands for any other reason other than the oil and mineral reserves and a gateway to the Antarctic, but they will never get them.

Sería bueno que pasen las ovejas por eich.

I wonder how many islanders grabbed a FN FAL?

Really though you need to call it a war?.....

Free the Incas, Argentinians should return to motherland Germany!!

Must have been very frightening for the residents

Even though the current islanders consider themselves British, if Argentina had never foolishly invaded, they might have gotten the islands back by now. Yet they DID invade, and they'll be paying for that stunt for a long, long, time. The British will easily be in the Falklands for another two hundred years!

It seems that the people will stay in poverty, since Falkland Islands Company owned 70% of the land using the population as a low paid workers, and the company is not paying for any upgrades .

Well one thing I liked about the War was the sheep. English got there 2nd though.

Operation Corporate. Was it coined? My family raises beef in Alberta Canada, n mutton in a Arizona US. I'd go start a new operation there. Importantly a new life.

Will the Argies try again? After that thrashing?

Bayansen d ai eso noes un suelo ingle es argentino sud mericano

Argentina should have been made to pay war reparations

in 1982 who do you think owned the Falkland island Company, and pulled his name just after the war? Dennis Thatcher

Now with Eurofighters and Land Ceptor .

The army protected the Falklands from invasion, However the homelands have been overrun.

Quite a left wing bias here, you can even hear it in his voice when talking of evil landlords

12:15 minutes ..... Hello Sir !

jaja 4:05 hipies faseros.

Malvinas es propiedad de la República Argentina Mar continente Malvinas paralelo 40 Antártida paralelo 60 🇦🇷

That last comment hahaha they lost because they used bags of wool as sandbags against the British hahaha... They'd never get away with saying that now lol

Volveremos !!!

ISAIAH 40:8 - GREETINGS FROM GUATEMALA ! / {FORZA E CORAGGIO}*

Basically, in these islands there are more sheeps than people, and this is the unfortunate reason why this battle has been fought

Argy soldiers should clear the minefields.

Many of these islanders are starting to sound antipodean in their accents...

THINK ABOUT ALL THOSE SHEEP....THEN ADD PARAS AND A BIG BAR.....BOOZE AND KEBABS....AND NOBODY GOING HOME...WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT DODGERS...????

A taste of their own colonialism...

we kicked there arse

You couldn’t make it up!

no tienen nafta. Pero que proreso...

Good old Rex Hunt, I am sure the Argies will change the first letter. But a stand up dude.

3:23 no sabe hablar el kelpe. El que vive en suelo Argentino.

Every soldiers families should sue it's a disgace

The Argies want a share of the sheep.

When I see the beginning intro, I always think it's time for the Benny Hill Show.

Any lands on the Falkland Islands which are beneficial to Argentina should be compulsary purchased by the Falkland Islands.....And rented or sold to the Islanders.....And to say the landowners have put in a claim for war damage......I'm not a lawyer but even I could pick holes in that one......Argentina starts a war , then tries to claim compensation ?????? The mind boggles....DUH...

Hahahhh... American made phantoms

OPERATION ROSARIO Rápido, solo hay 40 marines británicos en Port Stanley. Si enviamos a 4.500 hombres, podríamos vencerlos HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Vamos a volver y los vamos a sacar a patadas

They had war because of the sheep’s 🐑

Islanders / Kelpers: If they were born on the Islands... they are Argentinian, right?

So what I have learnt from this and never knew is that 200 troops died for the interests of a private company "the Falklands Island company".
