“The Falklands Conflict 1982, ‘Getting You There, Keeping You Going, Watching Your Backs’: the Maritime and Air Campaigns” 26th January, 18:30

Dr Chris Parry will combine both historical and personal insights to describe the extraordinarily complex and difficult operation of this conflict. Success on land in the Falklands War would not have been possible without the ability to deploy and sustain forces over a distance of 8000 miles or without the maritime and air capability to deter, disrupt and destroy intervention by Argentinian forces. Password: YXsKLgj4
