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 third and final interviews with Mog, he describes his air-to-air kills and the post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that affected him so greatly afterwards.
