I live next to there

30 mph wind 24/7. What a bleak miserable wasteland to fight over.

All I hear when I see a vid like this is "STOPPAGE!!!"

I thought "40 years? I thought this happened in the 80s?" Then i remembered I'm about to be 40 years old...

I’ve been there!!

This film or video was made in 1983 as the airfield seems to have a hard surface instead of the metal interlocking grids that first allowed the air-bridge and the deployment of the Phanthoms. 2 Field Workshop REME secured the old bombed out RM barracks at Moody Brook following deployment and the big clean-up of the town and other areas. We came ashore from the MV Norland with the assistance of LCL's and I was lucky enough to secure a peat-shed at No 32 Davis Street with a lady, Mrs Doris McGill, who's kindness and company I shall never forget. I am still in contact with her family after 42 years! The Packard armoured vehicles and various other Argintine equipment like the Mercedes G-Wagons were recovered and brought in from all over the Island - many of it being under-slung from RAF Chinooks or Seaking helicopters. I worked out from that large building which was part of the old whaling station. The stench and aftermath of the conflict remains a distant memory with the clearing up of the rotting body parts from the building which had been used as a field hospital in the last stages of the battle for Port Stanley. Thank you to the Museum for making this film available.

This is so interesting, i’ll be taking a masters in electrical and electronics engineering and a masters in mechanical engineering soon.

Not 100% on this but that Gazelle that was fished out of the water may be the one now restored and on display at the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum. Anyone know for definite?

*Right. Now lets see something DECENT and MILITARY!*

So How Long Did They Have to Wait so They Could Record During Wind ?¿

Thank you for uploading this video.

I was in 37 Engr Regt workshop REME (May-Sept 84). We were based to one side of the runway at RAF Stanley. The A&G section comprised of my welding shop (an ISO container), always flooded and the machy wagon. Our only form of heating were the 4 little wall heaters than were pretty hopeless. This video reminds me mostly of the constant wind and the biting cold. 12 hour working days, 7am to 7pm, 6 days a week.

Interesting. I wonder what happened to the P&W twin packs from the Bell helicopters and those Pucara engines. Did they ever convert the armoured car to a workshop vehicle and if so what happened to it? The radar is getting into the film. I remember working on the self same Herc that is in the background of the opening clip.

We defend an island 8000 miles away while leaving our own to its fate

Malvinas to the rescue

Was a great show. Will definitely be attending next year with the firearms display again.

Trophies for the victorious.

That was really interesting.. could have watched hours of that.

My first fighting patrol with the whole force of J Company 42 Commando Royal Marines was looking for the enemy who shot down that very same Gazelle. The Argies that had shot down the Helo and Lieutenant Nunn and his co pilot, swam ashore only to be shot and killed by those responsible for downing the aircraft, sadly we never found those responsible for this cowardly act. The Beaver float plane hanger was used as a Med station and certainly didn’t look like it does in the video, after the surrender we moved from Mount Harriet into Stanley and used the hanger to sleep in. On entering the building we were slipping and sliding on something and once we had got some torches out found out why, the floor was covered in blood and body parts a horrendous sight for anyone no matter which side you were on. We had to put our roll mats end to end side by side covering the floor, one of the many sights that has always stayed with me for 42 years

I arrived at PSC just after it all finished. Lived in the sheep shearing pens for a couple of months, keeping the Wokkas flying

I was RAOC Stores Section attached to 2 Fd Wksps in 84/85. The Workshop had the Samson by then, did the Panhard ever get converted?

Did my time at Moody Brook January to August 1984….brilliant posting

Great video- you can hear the radar sweeps on the tape!

I love this video... I went there in November 86 as a REME mechanic, oddly enough... Memories are made of this.... HUZZAH!!!

I simply Refuse to tolerate the constant, unrelenting, ferocious, bitter, tiring, gusty winds. Not needing a rubbish bin is slight consultation . . . ☆

Otimo! Falklands forever.

The way she says “prefurrr” just does something to my adhd brain 💀🤫🧏‍♀️

Brave man, Well done Dusty, Total Repect

Epic Dusty, well done brother.

He make me an ex-REME 1977-86 feel humble, May God bless all who serve, their Nations,

Seeing all those Small Parts and Small Tool Kit needed to Disassemble and Reassemble the L85 reminded me that the British and Japanese People have a common “Sickness”: they both are Addicted to Fussy Fingering of a Lot of “Fiddly Bits.” Maybe that’s a Symptom of being Island Nations!? My Mother (GOD Rest Her Soul) grew up an English Subject, my Air Force Family was Stationed in Europe so we got to visit our Relatives there. I was Stationed aboard MCAS Iwakuni for two years and visited the town of Iwakuni and the city of Hiroshima. Nice People. While in both countries I Recognized the glaring Similarities between between them. 🤔🤗😝😂😎🤙🏻

Mate, putting my CO2 pistol back together was just as complicated.

Vũ khí Mỹ và phương Tây đã bị bắn hạ

Great video of an awesome piece of kit. Expertly parked too!

A2 improved but A3 with picatini rails and bipod better. I carried the A2 and im sure my enemies could verify is accuracy and lethality...but they are all dead 😂

You know its not just a simple gun when you need all the handyman tools😅
