10 Percent True #11 P3 - Dave "Mog" Morgan, Sea Harrier Falklands Fighter Pilot
Mog’s book, Hostile Skies, is available from Amazon. I highly recommend it. amzn.to/2yL0O6Q
Get this in podcast format here: 10percenttrue.buzzsprout.com/
In March 1982, Argentinian forces landed on a set of tiny islands in the South Atlantic. These islands were known to the British as the Falklands, and to the Argentinians as Las Malvinas, and ownership over them remains contested to this day.
Britain’s Prime Minister responded without equivocation, and dispatched a task force of ships, aircraft and combat forces with the objective of retaking the islands.
Through the month of March, the task force sailed south. One of those onboard was Royal Air Force fighter pilot, Dave “Mog” Morgan, then on exchange with the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm, flying the Hawker Siddley Sea Harrier.
Morgan would help lead the planning of the first combat mission undertaken by the Sea Harriers, and would end the war having shot down four Argentine aircraft.
In this, the second of three interviews with Mog, he describes the Sea Harrier workup as they sailed down the Falkland Islands, and the eventual commencement of combat.
Tune in for part 3 to listen to Mog describe his air-to-air kills and resultant post traumatic stress disorder.

The Harrier of Lt. Glover in Howard was shot down by Cpt. Ricardo Frecha of Commando Company 601 (special forces) with a Blowpipe. After that the chief of the company Mayor Castagneto and the medic officer of the company, Cpt. Llanos take him out of the water. In the same day at 15:15 pm another Harrier was hit with another Blowpipe shoted by corporal Martinez, but the crash was in East Falkland and it wasn´t confirmed by argentine troops. Amazing interview. Really emotive and as a argentine ex military i can only said, all my respects for him

Awesome interview! Riveting combat accounts, very sensitive and very delicately executed discussion of PTSD and the realities of war. Steve, you're a great interviewer - I love how you are comfortable with silence, and letting Mog take the time to express his story. You avoid the common mistake so many interviewers and podcast moderators have of having a prefixed agenda, and constantly interrupting interviewees with leading questions. Mog - you are an exceptional inspiring gentleman - thanks for your skill as a combat aviator, your humanity, your courage, and humility in sharing your experiences during and after the war.

@paulelephant9521 Месяц назад

Fantastic interview, truly humbling what these guys did and Mr Morgans honesty in this piece. Can't imagine the level of focus and reflexes required to down three helicopters, or two planes in a matter of seconds, while flying at the very limits of your vehicles capability, close enough to the enemy to actually knock them out of the sky with your wing vortices! Then having to fly back with not enough fuel and nail a rapid landing in the dark while not qualified for that duty! Genuinely heroic. Also interesting that the software for the new sidewinders was written on the fly and a bit buggy, that can't have made things any easier. The more I find out about the Falklands war the more I realize we only won due to the profesionalism and tactical superiority of our troops, if we had been a bit less good at soldiering in all it's many forms and the Argentinians had had better leadership we could easily have faced a military disaster and defeat, it's thanks to people like Dave Morgan that the taskforce prevailed.

@VictorCopeland 3 года назад

As a 15 year old in 1982, I watch this conflict nightly on BBC. Mpg was a bit of an icon. So I found the interview fascinating and watched all 3 back to back. Fascinating that Mog nearly got relegated and stayed as a helicopter pilot over my home NI, that he got luck to fly GR3 in RAF, that he had almost zero air to air combat experience and almost no naval aviation experience, yet we know nothing of this. Fascinating and an inspiration. Also very interesting to hear of after effects of PTSD and for her flying career. Excellent interview.

@guarenchafa4912 2 года назад

From many accounts, the Argentinian's the high command was very hesitant to send fighter escort as they were very worried about losing too many fighters, therefore leaving the mainland undefended. One must also take into account that they were quite worried about an attack from the Chilean side as they had just gone through very high tensions with the Chileans in the few years prior.

One afternoon I was at Bullford camp , I was about seven, I was with my dad who had equipment to pick up, school holiday I think, then out of the blue came a Harrier, definitely faster than the speed of sound, as that followed him, he buzzed the tower lol,...then I could hear the Harrier approach slowly and clearly he was practicing ship landings or just landings, any ways I got a right treat that afternoon, , I later was told of a conversation a few weeks later where my dad chatted to Gordy was it he was a test pilot my dad said,....i did get singed eyebrows, as he turned, he was in full control and spiked my interest in jets,. :later realising that he got killed,...many, many, years later , helicopters where so essential, and surely helped the British cause, .thanks guys,......and what a shame about the ejection seat getting damaged awesome information.

@vevenaneathna Год назад

so interesting. I can tell there are a few points in your interviews that get unexpectedly emotional (paul metz). really genuine and its something you cant read from a book. i think the falklands war is a model for any future war in the pacific. probably the most modern conflict that had two sides so equally matched. Im pretty sure just like in the falklinds, a future pacific conflict will be fought on the improvised flight decks of containerships with f35b's thanks for uploading

@josephjackson7269 6 месяцев назад

Most ratings on aircraft center around speed. In actuality a fighter moving at 1,000 mph isn’t fighting aircraft. Speed is more for closing or running but not fighting. Most combat is at 400 to 500 mph so Harriers were fast enough for fighting when engaged. Even F15 don’t fight at high speeds unless attempting a long range shot where middle avoidance is mush easier. Same goes for ground attack I assume

What a bunch of bastards! I'd be suing the defence dept. And people wonder why joining the defence establishment is a big risk, because if you get injured you get put on the shitpile.

@yanitoo 4 года назад

Argentina had no good AA missiles, the English had the last sidewinder (AIM9L), so they had an advantage in that type of combat.

@acoustic5738 3 года назад

Yet at least 2 chances were Argentinian fighters could have shot Dave and Nigel in doghfight with guns so sidewinders are not exactly an ultimate advantage. And there is no such thing as a fair fight, you win wars by exploiting advantages not by equalizing with your enemy, thats day dreaming. The argentinians also exploited advantages on the ground and honestly cheating using forbiden bullets and changing ship roles to humanitarian when under atack.

@yanitoo 3 года назад

@@acoustic5738 We are talking about fights in the air, I do not understand what what you say has to do with it. The aim9l missile can be fired from any position and that is a great advantage against obsolete missiles used by the mirage, because the A4 did not have missiles and were configured to attack targets in water or land, in addition to being at the fuel limit always .

@SuperHaz007 3 года назад

@@editordeguerra884 However the Shafrir 2 and Python 4 Israeli missiles were both available to the Argentines. There were excellent missiles and Argentina had received 350 of the former in 1981, so were certainly available to the Argentine Air Force. The Python was an all aspect missile perfectly capable of a head on shot. Even the Python 3 was capable of head on shots as the Israelis proved by shooting down 35 aircraft also in 1982 in Lebanon. The fact that Argentina did not use this capability is a well acknowledged failing that could have changed the course of the war. I am very happy to be corrected if I have got my facts wrong.
