Sitrep's looking into the role of the Russian mercenary group, Wagner, after reports of fierce fighting in the West African country of Mali and asking why this conflict has caused a diplomatic row between Mali and Ukraine? And where is the balance between the needs of the military and the needs of the media? Sitrep will discuss that with the former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Sir Richard Shirreff, and Mark Urban, former Defence Editor at BBC Newsnight. And Sitrep has the latest in its series, The Moment that Made Me - this week there's a powerful account from Major General Chip Chapman about what he learnt during the Battle for Goose Green in the Falklands.

‘He was a real leader - he had grown up with the philosophy of soldiering.' As dawn broke on 22 May, 1982 daylight revealed the British were back - troops poured ashore in San Carlos Bay. But it was all taking too long for the impatient war cabinet 8,000 miles away in London. With losses mounting as the navy fought off Argentine air attacks, London demanded a victory, something, anything on the Falklands itself, some sort of trophy to show this was worth it. So Colonel H Jones and 2 Para were ordered to attack the small settlement of Goose Green - attack it and take it, no matter what.  Narrated by Paul Waggott Written by Robin Scott Elliot Production and Sound Design by Holy Smokes Audio Executive Producers Tony Pastor + Neil Fearn A Goalhanger Podcasts Production Cast list: Alejandro Teran Thomas Mitchells Tim Skinner George Still Marta da Silva Gerardo Cabal Neizan Fernandez Darcey Ferguson Learn more about your ad choices.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the forty-sixth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Commander of Ops Group (COG), COL Matthew Hardman. Today's guest is a Foreign Exchange Officer serving as an Observer-Coach-Trainer Company Team Senior with Task Force 2 (Infantry Battalion), CPT Will Happel of the British Army. CPT Happel has since become a student Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas and has since been promoted to the rank of Major.   In this episode we discuss how the British Ministry of Defense approached their expeditionary efforts during the Falklands War and how these same tenets would be applied to a multinational effort during large scale combat operations (LSCO).   The Falklands War, which took place in 1982, was viewed from the British perspective as a decisive conflict to reclaim the Falkland Islands from Argentine occupation. The UK considered the Argentine invasion of the islands a violation of sovereignty and responded with a military campaign. The British government, led by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, sought to protect the rights of the islanders and reestablish British control. The eventual success of the British forces in retaking the Falklands bolstered national pride but also brought attention to geopolitical complexities in the South Atlantic.   Specifically, we discuss that when viewed through the lens of a multinational expeditionary operation during LSCO, reveals the collaborative efforts of the British-led task force. Nations like the United States provided intelligence support, while others offered political and logistical assistance. The conflict underscored the challenges and benefits of coordinating diverse military capabilities in a joint effort to achieve strategic objectives in a remote and contested theater. Additionally, the Falklands War highlighted the importance of interoperability and communication between allied forces, as well as the necessity of rapid deployment and sustained logistical support over long distances. The multinational nature of the operation demonstrated the strength of collective security efforts in addressing regional conflicts and upholding international norms of sovereignty and self-determination.   Additionally, we look at some of the case studies conducted on this conflict: “No Picnic: 3 Commando Brigade in the South Atlantic” by MG Julian Thompson; “Goose Green: The Decisive Battle of the Falklands War – by the British Troops Who Fought It” by Nigel Ely; “Not Mentioned in Despatches: The History and Mythology of the Battle of Goose Green” by Spencer Fitz-Gibbon.   Part of S12 “The JIIMs of JRTC: Working with Our Unified Action Partners” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Argentina seized the Falkland Islands on April 2nd, 1982.  The British government deployed a naval task force on April 5th to take them back.  As the force steadily converged from 8,000 miles away, the rest of the world wondered if the two countries would really fight over the remote and sparsely populated islands.  They did.  By the time it was over in June, 3,336 people had been killed or wounded; sixteen ships sunk; and 134 aircraft were lost.  The Falklands campaign is considered by many as the first technologically modern war.  In some ways it is a microcosm of what major fleet actions could look like.  Martin Middlebrook's “Operation Corporate” gives us the details of what happened.

The twists just keeping coming with this bizarre case. After two teenage boys go for a walk and one of them ends up in critical condition after being violently stabbed, police soon uncover a conspiracy with a twist too weird to be true.

Kriget om Falklandsöarna mellan Argentina och Storbritannien år 1982 var kriget som aldrig skulle ha utkämpats. Den negativa inrikespolitiska utvecklingen i militärdiktaturens Argentina samverkade med gamla anspråkskrav på Falklandsöarna – eller Malvinerna som de kallas på spanska.Argentinarna besatte ögruppen med militär. Storbritannien under Margaret Thatchers ledning antog utmaningen och sände en expeditionsstyrka för att utkämpa britternas måhända sista kolonialkrig. Men var det värt insatsen?Denna fråga och mycket mer diskuterar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved i denna nymixade repris av avsnitt 30 av Militärhistoriepodden.Kriget på Falklandsöarna hade många drag som gör det unikt i flera avseenden. Argentinarnas närhet till krigsområdet gav dem en fördel. Dessutom var Argentina inte helt utan militär kapacitet. Både en relativt stor flotta och ett flygvapen att räkna med. Men att möta en motståndare med britternas kapacitet skulle visa sig vara katastrofalt. Det fanns redan på förhand en nivåskillnad i militär kompetens som argentinarna skulle ha tagit mer på allvar. Men kanske utgick de från att det aldrig skulle bli krig?Storbritannien förde krig på andra sidan jordklotet med en expeditionsflotta som i mycket stor utsträckning måste klara sig själv. Logistiskt var insatsen anmärkningsvärd. Uppgiften att hålla den ganska stora argentinska flottan på behörigt avstånd och undvika förluster på grund av det argentinska flygvapnets anfall var svår. Trots teknisk överlägsenhet och utbildning var inte framgången given på förhand. Två brigader skulle landsättas och ta sig an uppgiften att besegra en numerärt större motståndare som både hade haft god tid till förberedelser och som dessutom hade tunga vapen att försvara sina ställningar på höjderna kring Port Stanley. Frågan är vad som egentligen avgjorde kriget?Falklandskrigets slutstrider vid Goose Green och väster om Port Stanley blev infanteristrid med många brutala påminnelser om krigets nakna verklighet: att döda eller dödas. När det brittiska yrkesinfanteriet av marinkårssoldater, fallskärmsjägare och gardessoldater bröt in och brutalt rensade de argentinska ställningarna som hölls av i huvudsak illa ledda värnpliktiga kan det verka som att allt var givet på förhand. Men ingenting var självklart. Britterna kämpade med krigets friktioner vad gäller transporter, brist på understöd och vädret. Att numerärt underlägsna anfalla en fiende som har haft lång tid till förberedelser innebär förluster. Britterna förlorade i kriget 255 i döda och 775 skadades. Argentina miste 649 döda och 1 657 skadade.Om du vill läsa mer kan vi rekommendera den brittiske journalisten och författaren Max Hastings och Simon Jenkins bok som finns på svenska Slaget om Falklandsöarna. I övrigt återfinns en rad titlar om kriget på engelska som tar upp i stort sätt alla aspekter av konflikten.

It was 30th May and the rusty liner the Canberra headed back into San Carlos water. On board were reinforcements from the 5th Infantry Brigade including the Gurkhas, the Scots and Welsh Guards. They had been collected from the QE2 liner which had docked at South Georgia with the Guards and the Gurkhas, from where they were collected by the Canberra. Also on board was the new commander, Major-General Jeremy Moore who was to take over from Brigadier Jeremy Thompson. The command post at San Carlos was the outside lavatory and cloakroom for the Port San Carlos Social Club in better times – and Moore surveyed his new HQ then headed out to talk to the troops.  The lack of Sea King helicopters meant the British forces were back on their transport equipment number ones, their boots. It was 3 Commando's Brigades' fate to continue to march across East Falkland, towards the chain of hills surrounding port Stanley. 45 commando had left San Carlos with 3 Para on the 27th May, and were plodding doggedly over the hills, marshes and streams towards Douglas settlement. That night, at ten pm, they collapsed into sleep after the 13 mile route march, across terrain that left 15 men injured – sprained ankles, pulled muscles, cracked bones. Meanwhile, Brigadier Thompson was worried. He knew that Mount Kent was strategically important and wanted it populated by British troops before the Argentinians woke up to its crucial role – should they send artillery spotters here the British would be vulnerable to observed artillery fire. For the next week, the Royal Navy devoted most of its attention to the problems of the 5 Brigade. On the afternoon of 3 June, the Welsh Guards began their long march to Goose Green from San Carlos, walking for 12 hours before the whole exercise was abandoned. The Guardsmen were not ready for this heavy going, and they were too heavily laden – and their snotracs broke down every few miles. Back they marched over Sussex Mountain. 3 Brigade sneered at the news – what a contemptable start they thought. Remember they were on the hills above Stanley, and now forced to hang around the freezing mountain waiting for 5 Brigade to get its act together. It was now that the fate of so many men was decided – the only other way for these soldiers to get to Fitzroy at speed was by sea – and to a scene of a tragedy that would be the worst loss of life in any single engagement for the British during the entire Falklands War.  Get bonus content on Patreon Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

The night of 27th May 1982  was cold and rainy, and waiting for the British on the mile-wide isthmus to the north of the settlements of Darwin and Goose Green were one hundred Argentinian conscripts making up two platoons of 12 Regiment A company, a dozen or so Argentinian reconnaissance soldiers, First Lieutenant Jorge Manresa, three officers and 14 NCOs.  Manresa's men weren't in a good place. They were part of the extension of the defensive position ordered by their commander back in Stanley and it was no where nearly as well laid out as the second line of defence behind them.  They had a 120mm mortar with its tube welded to its base plate, two other 81mm mortars and two 7.62mm machine guns. The newly dug positions were about a mile and half ahead of the much better constructed main line. At 6pm on the 27th, the British 2 battalion Charlie company began to advance towards the start line in intermittent rain. For the next three hours they probed down the track, led by engineers of 59 squadron who faced the biggest hazards initially – being blown up by mines and boobytraps. They waded waist-deep in streams in the darkness to ensure that the three bridges between Camilla Creek and the start line were clear of mines, then lay shivering in the dark as the assault companies headed their way.At 2.35am A Company crossed the start line in a classic infantry formation, two platoons forward and one behind.  At 2:35am HMS Arrow opened fire, firing a total of 22 star shells and 135 rounds of 4.5" high-explosive shells during a 90-minute bombardment, signalling the start of the attack. The rest of the battalion moved off at 10pm, listening to the crump crump of naval gunfire support.Still, it took a firefight until first light before the first line was broken, and the British were still two miles short of the Goose Green Settlement – they'd just arrived at Darwin. But that is further north of Goose Green, about a mile and a half away and both were located on the east side of the isthmus, the right as you look at the map.  Then dawn broke, and the battle began to swing away from the British. They were caught in the open, on gently sloping ground, with the only shelter being little contours in the landscape and a ridge that was a great target.   Get bonus content on Patreon Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

"Skilled writers of fiction would struggle to conjure up a plot such as this." - Judge Maddison. AND HE AIN'T LYING. Today Rebecca discusses the insanely twisted story of the Goose Green Stabbing. Edited by Haley Craven. Follow us on Instagram: peoplearetheworst_pod to learn about upcoming eps!

As we heard in Episode 15, the British were ascendant, but they'd paid a high price.Twenty-six Argentinian planes had been shot down since the landings at San Carlos, ten British ships had been damaged by unexploded bombs, so imagine the carnage had these been fused properly. Five ships had been sunk – HMS Sheffield, Ardent, Antelope, Coventry and the SS Atlantic Conveyor. One more would go down before the end of this short war. Back in the U.K. the cabinet was muttering about action and naturally, this pressure on the leadership in the Falklands became unbearable. Their gaze switched to the south, instead of the east where Port Stanley stood. It turned to Darwin and Goose Green. Then on the morning of 23rd May, 2 Para received a warning order from 3 Commando Brigade – three of the four companies were to carry out a large-scale raid on the Argentinian positions at Darwin and Goose Green. One company would remain behind at Sussex Mountain. The officers were not happy about the plan. Lieutenant Colonel Herbert Jones, or H as he was known, pointed out that they were advancing in exactly the opposite direction to the main strategic goal, Stanley. H was also unhappy about the plan itself, they were going to attack strongly held enemy positions from the obvious direction, the north, without full air and artillery support. He asked that 3 Para be moved by chopper or by sea to the south. No said the brigade commander, Julian Thompson. The loss of the Chinooks on the Atlantic Conveyor made any move of this sort impossible.  So on the afternoon of 24th May 1982, Delta company led off the long march to secure its first objective known as Camilla Creek House. That was eleven miles down the route, and following Delta company would be the remainder of the battalion. Camilla Creek house overlooked the Goose Green Settlement, it was the obvious strategic point. At seven that night the attack was cancelled – poor weather meant that their supporting artillery could not be moved. D Company had to march back up Sussex Mountain, back to their waterlogged trenches and cold nights. Two days later on the 26th May, Lieutenant Colonel Jones was summoned to another urgent meeting at Brigade HQ – 2 Para were now heading to Goose Green once more. What Jones didn't know was that Brigadier Thompson was trying to stop the assault – he'd phoned the war cabinet back in the U.K. and tried to convince his superiors that the southern isthmus was no real danger on his flank – he could easily hold them back while he marched on Stanley. He was worried that what was a form of sideshow would go horribly wrong. But he failed. Thatcher and her cabinet wanted blood as quickly as possible, it was a political imperative because she was aware that public opinion had shifted after the loss of so many ships – and the fact that since the landing at San Carlos, the British had appeared to have frozen at the Bay. There were a few significant failings that began about now – and one involved intelligence. As you're going to hear, 2 Para were sent into battle against a far bigger force because intelligence had got a few things badly wrong. They suggested that the Argentinians defending the settlement had a weak battalion, probably fewer than 600 men,  and Thompson believed the 450 men of 2 Para were enough. Once his attempts at stopping this assault failed, he was determined to make it a swift victory. Unfortunately, there were close to 4 times that number of Argentinians waiting for his men.  Get bonus content on Patreon Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

A catastrophe had befallen the Argentinians with the sinking of the Belgrano on May 2nd 1982, all in all 368 sailors died after it was torpedoed by the nuclear submarine HMS Conqueror.While Argentina's warships never ventured out to sea again, the diplomatic fallout from the sinking caused Britain to lose a great deal of good faith that she'd built up over the preceding few weeks. But it was only two days later that Admiral Anaya was going to take his revenge.Before then, a few bits of action were recorded. On the night of 2nd May a Sea King helicopter was fired on by the Argentinian naval vessel the Alferez Sobral about 100 nautical miles north of the Falklands. The helicopter escaped damage and flew back to HMS Glasgow and Coventry, based nearby. Two Lynx choppers took off and guided by the Sea King took aim at the Sobral firing two Sea Skua missiles. The British recorded two explosions and the echo of the Sobral seemed to die away – they thought it had been sunk. It hadn't. Out among the British ships, the crews were working their defence watches, second-degree readiness. The surveillance radars were picking up false echoes suggesting incoming aircraft, what was known as anomalous propagation. Several of the ships were chatting about this problem, HMS Coventry was in contact with HMS Sheffield which had taken over Coventry's usual station at the south-west corner of the task force, about 40 miles south of Port Stanley.When war erupted most of Sheffield's crew thought they wouldn't be joining the Task Team, they were off Gibraltar on their way home after 4 and a half months at sea. That's quite a stint for a destroyer. After deployment on April 2nd, some thought they wouldn't be heading further south than Ascension Island. Eventually and ironically HMS Sheffield was the first surface ship to reach the Total Exclusion Zone – ahead of the Task Force.  Get bonus content on Patreon Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

The Argentinians have just landed commandos and attacked the Marine Barracks at Moody Brook, but missed their target as the 40 specialist brit soldiers have been on the move for more than a day already. As your heard last episode, the British finally managed to get a warning to their Falklands Governor, Rex Hunt, a few hours before the Argentinian fleet anchored off Port Stanley. Argentinian Rear-Admiral Büsser had been studying the problems of landing at the Falklands since January 1982 and the commandos had carried out the first obvious mission – to strike at the Marine Barracks “by surprise and without bloodshed” he told author Martin Middlebrook.Büsser's original plan was to land the Amphibious Commando Company during the night on a beach two miles south of Stanley, then to march overland and seize the barracks along with other key points in the town. The main landing force would then come ashore at dawn with an army platoon sent ahead to capture Government House and the governor, while the marines completed the sweep of Stanley. A small plane would fly from the mainland once the island was secure, and its occupants would prepare the airport for the arrival of a much larger army contingent which would replace the landing force and form the first garrison. Two more platoons were to be transported by helicopter from the Almirante Irizar to occupy Goose Green and Darwin area. However, he hit a snag. Firstly, there was no surprise, his own state radio had told everyone the night before that by dawn the Falklands would “be ours”. So the beach was going to be defended and the airport runway likely blocked. Worse, the Puma helicopter that was supposed to be used on board the Almirante Irizar  had broken loose in its hangar during the raging storm you heard about last episode and was damaged.  Get bonus content on Patreon Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

The final round takes place in YOTA month, on the 30th of December between 1200 and 2359UTC. On the 18th of April, radio amateurs worldwide take to the airwaves in celebration of World Amateur Radio Day. It was on this day in 1925 that the International Amateur Radio Union was formed in Paris. You can read more about the event and download posters and other publicity material for any special event station you may be planning, from iaru.org. Just a reminder that voting is still open in the RSGB AGM. There are three resolutions to vote for including the endorsement of two Nominated Board Directors. They have been put forward by the RSGB Nominations Committee but it is RSGB Members who choose whether or not to endorse them. The Society encourages all members to read the CVs and personal statements of the Nominated Directors and then follow the voting links to cast a vote. On the RSGB AGM web pages, you can also see the RSGB Report and Accounts and submit a question for the RSGB Board to answer at the online AGM. Go to rsgb.org/agm to find all the information and links you need. Please use your vote. The 2022 Commonwealth Games start on the 28th of July. Over 5,000 athletes will converge on Birmingham and the surrounding area from an estimated 72 hosts to compete over 12 days as part of the Games. The RSGB is organising a number of activities to support the event, including a special event station on the grounds of the National Exhibition Centre. The Society wants to showcase amateur radio to the athletes and public for as much of the Games as possible and will need a large number of volunteers to operate the station and chat with visitors. Due to the location of the station, operators will only be able to access the Games by train and participants will be security checked as part of the accreditation process. If you'd like to help operate the station during the Games, contact RSGB Region 5 Representative Neil Yorke, M0NKE: rr5@rsgb.org.uk. We have received news via Charles, M0OXO from Gennady, UX5UO, the Ukrainian QSL Printer used by many. Gennady says that he is OK and still trading. You can see more at ux5uoqsl.com. The 2nd of April 2022 marked the 40th anniversary of the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands. On that day in 1982, Bob, VP8LP, living at Goose Green, was hearing on a local VHF net that invading troops could be seen in the streets of Port Stanley. He was surprised to find that there was no mention of this by the BBC. Bob spoke to Laurie, G3UML in the BBC Ariel Radio Group radio room in the building next to Broadcasting House. This was probably the first confirmation of the invasion. Bob and Laurie have remained in touch ever since. On the 2nd of April this year, the two friends met up again on the air to relive their contact of 40 years previous, this time using the BBC centenary callsign GB100BBC. A feature about the original contact was broadcast on the 3rd of April during Radio 4's ‘Broadcasting House' programme. You can listen back to this via BBC Sounds. Laurie was also the guest presenter on last Tuesday's RSGB webinar Tonight@8 in which he talked about his historic contact with VP8LP as well the recent reconstruction. You can watch the Tonight@8 presentation at rsgb.org/webinars. Belgium's national society, the UBA, has joined other national Amateur Radio societies in banning amateurs from Russia and Belarus from their contests. See uba.be for full details. And now for details of rallies and events Please send your rally and event news as soon as possible to radcom@rsgb.org.uk. We'll publicise your event in RadCom, on GB2RS, and online. Today, the 10th of April, the Lincoln Short Wave Club Spring Rally will be at Festival Hall, Caistor Road, Market Rasen LN8 3HT. Entry is £2 per person. The doors open at 10 am or 30 minutes earlier for disabled visitors. There is ample free car parking and refreshments will be available. Free Wi-Fi is available on site. On the 24th of April, the Cambridge Repeater Group Rally will be held in Foxton Village Hall, Hardman Road, Foxton, Cambridge CB22 6RN. Now the DX news Max, ON5UR and Erik, ON4ANN are part of a 15-strong team operating from Svalbard, EU026, between the 19th and 26th of April. There will be five stations on all HF bands in different modes, CW, SSB, RTTY and FT8-FT4. They hope to be the first to activate EU026 on QO-100. More at dx-adventure.com. Jean-Louis, F5NHJ will be visiting Noumea, New Caledonia, OC-032, until the 11th of June. He plans to be active holiday style as FK/F5NHJ and operate CW, SSB and digital modes. The log will be uploaded to Logbook of The World and eQSL. Rick, HC1MD and Maria, HC1MM will be active as HD8MD and HD8MM respectively from Santa Cruz, Galapagos Islands, SA-004, on the 14th of April. They will operate CW, SSB, FT4 and FT8 on the 6 to 40m bands. QSL via Logbook of The World and K8LJG. Bodo, DF8DX will be active as IS0/DF8DX from the main island of Sardinia, EU-024, until the 16th of April. QSL via Club Log's OQRS, via the bureau or direct. A team of three will be active as VK9NT from Norfolk Island, OC-005, between the 14th of and 25th of April. They will operate CW, SSB and FT8 on the 10 to 160m bands. QSL via M0OXO's OQRS. Updates will be posted to VK9NT's page on qrz.com. Now the Special Event news Final preparations for GB1BB are now underway at the Isle of Wight Radio Society. A crew of three young operators will, weather permitting, operate on 70cm through GB3IW; on 2m FM simplex; and on the 80m or 40m band using SSB. This Special Event Station is highly unusual in that it will be established on the Bramble Bank, a sand bar 3km north of Cowes, which is usually underwater. Twice a year, around the times of the Spring and Autumn equinoxes, extreme spring tides uncover the bank and a small island appears for about an hour. Look out for GB1BB around 6 am or 6 pm, on Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, or Tuesday the 19th of April. Activation will occur in only one of those time slots. G4ZUP/MM and G6RTE/MM may well be heard before and after the event. For the latest information and expected operating times, check iowrs.org. Flight Refuelling ARS will be operating from the club station using GB2FRA to celebrate the club's 40th anniversary. It is intended that the callsign will be used on all the bands and modes that are available from the club shack including 10GHz EME. Operations will run throughout April. Medway Amateur Receiving and Transmitting Society will operate GB5MW between the 3rd and 30th of April to celebrate the society's centenary year. QSL via eQSL. Now the contest news Four contests are scheduled to take place today, the 10th of April. The Spring 50MHz contest takes place between 0900 and 1200UTC. Using all modes, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. Next is the UK Microwave group Low Band contest running between 1000 and 1600UTC.

Full details can be found by searching for YUDX Contest. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Friday the 8th of April 2022. We had another week of high-ish solar flux numbers, but this time we had relatively settled geomagnetic conditions that really allowed the ionosphere to play ball for radio amateurs. The week started well with the SFI above 140, which then declined as the week went on and was at 117 on Thursday. The maximum Kp index was four on Sunday and Monday, which then declined to one and two as the week went on, before going back to four on Thursday. It looks like the faint CME generated by a filament eruption on the 3rd of April did not reach Earth, which was a bonus. A new report from NASA has confirmed that Solar Cycle 25 is racing ahead of the official forecast and the gap is growing. Sunspot counts have now exceeded predictions for 18 straight months. The monthly value at the end of March was more than twice the forecast and the highest in nearly seven years. The Solar Cycle Prediction Panel predicted that Solar Cycle 25 would peak in July 2025 as a relatively weak cycle, but instead, the cycle is shaping up to be stronger. Conditions have been quite good with many reports coming in of DX on the HF bands. John, G4BAO reports that 10m has been rocking this week. There have been daily morning openings to Asia and Australia, plus South America and the Caribbean later in the day. And Chris, G1WSA reports 20m QSOs with N3SJL and then VK7RG. The interesting part is that Chris was only using a short Diamond HF20FX 1.2m whip on a mag mount on his car. Next week, NOAA's prediction has the solar flux at 115 for most of the time, perhaps rising to 120 as the week progresses. A small Earth-facing coronal hole might spell unsettled geomagnetic conditions this weekend, and NOAA forecasts unsettled geomagnetic conditions for the 11th and 12th with a predicted Kp index of four. So possibly more of the same next week - try to make the most of the good HF conditions. And now the VHF and up propagation news. Last week ended with a cold northerly wind, but with developing high pressure for the weekend a chance of some Tropo, although in cold and often dry air like this, it is rarely very effective. As we move into the new week a slow-moving front drifts across the country from the Atlantic with some rain and perhaps a hint of rain scatter where the front breaks up into showery bursts of rain in southern Britain. The rest of the week will be largely controlled by slack ridges of high pressure, despite a temporary weak front reaching northwest Scotland for a time. The weak ridging probably develops further into the Easter weekend with a region of high pressure over the country. Some models hold the new high farther south over France and may allow further fronts to edge into Scotland. The usual bonuses of random meteor scatter and aurora are still in play given the right circumstances, as is the arrival of some early Sporadic-E as we move into the second half of April. This could be aided by a very busy upper air pattern offering plenty of jet streams, which can be associated with Es formation regions. Check out 10m first and then 6m, especially for data modes. Moon declination is at maximum this weekend and declining as the week goes on, so again, Moon windows are long and peak Moon elevation will be high. Apogee was last Thursday so path losses will decrease throughout the week. 144MHz sky noise is low all week, reaching a minimum of 174K on Monday. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

As we heard last episode, Argentinian businessman Senor Davidoff had chartered a boat to take 41 of his men to South Georgia to salvage metal and other materials from abandoned whaling stations. The had not reported to the British head of a scientific mission at the port of Grytviken despite being told to. It was March 1982 and the Bahia Buen Suceso had dropped off the scrapmen on the island who were breaking down the abandoned buildings. They'd also been joined by a French film crew who were forced to seek shelter at South Georgia. After they fixed up the broken tiller and mast, they sailed to Leith Bay from Grytviken to film the scrapping – having decided to forego their planned trip to the Antarctic which had almost ended in catastrophe. On the 23rd March, Lord Carrington the British Foreign Secretary sent an even stronger message to Buenos Aires. If the Bahia Buen Suceso was not ordered back to remove the 41 Argentinian workers left on South Georgia, the Royal Marines would do this forcibly. Endurance was now ordered to head straight for South Georgia and arrived there on the 24th March, then the crew awaited further orders. By the evening of the 23rd March, Admirals, Lombardo, Allara and Busser were gathered at Puerto Belgrano. The all-important army General Garcia was at V Corps HQ only 37 kilometers away. These men communicated and drew up a rushed plan by the evening of the 25th March. Junta leader Galtieri was told the invasion of the Falklands could begin on the 1st April, with a South Georgia operation planned for the same day.The Falkland's plan was simple. First they'd capture Stanley with its airport and Royal Marines barracks. Then they'd focus on the second largest settlement at Goose Green. The Argentine navy would carry out these invasions which was partly dictated by the amphibious nature of the operations.  Get bonus content on Patreon Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

The phrases “stranger than fiction” and “you couldn’t make it up” are frequently attached to a whole plethora of true crime cases, every documentary, book and podcast evenly remotely related to true crime has utter those phrases. But we think we have found one of the greatest “stranger than fiction, you couldn’t make it up” cases. One evening in late June 2003, 16-year-old Mark lured his friend, 14-year-old John, into an alley in an area known as Goose Green, which is in Altrincham, an affluent suburb of Manchester. Moments later, Mark took out a knife, told John he loved him, and then stabbed him in his chest and stomach. About 20 minutes after the attack, Mark pulled the knife from John’s body. As his friend bled onto the street, Mark dialled 999 and told the dispatcher that a man had stabbed his friend and then fled. How did John and Mark end up here?   FURTHER READING: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2004/may/29/crime.uknews (Bizarre tale of boy who used internet to plot his own murder) https://www.grunge.com/300405/the-truth-about-the-first-person-in-uk-history-to-be-charged-with-their-own-attempted-murder/ (THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FIRST PERSON IN UK HISTORY TO BE CHARGED WITH THEIR OWN ATTEMPTED MURDER) https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2005/02/bachrach200502 (“U WANT ME 2 KILL HIM?” - Vanity Fair) https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/70243568 (U Want Me 2 Kill Him - Netflix) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Licence_to_kill_(concept) (Licence to Kill) https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/internet-murder-boys-told-never-1110248 (Internet 'murder' boys told: Never see each other again) ----------------------------------------------- https://pod.link/1499149474 (Like the show?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, peeps and creeps! This week, your gift from True Crime Creepers is the story of the Goose Green Stabbings. In 2003, 14 year old John was stabbed twice: once in the chest and once in the abdomen. Though he survived, his friendship with his best friend, 16 year old Mark, did not. John told police it was a crazed mask wearing stabbing man that stabbed him, but the truth was - it was Mark. Police thought that was the end of their investigation, until they got their hands on 46,000 pages of chat transcripts from an MSN chatroom Mark and John were highly involved in, and police would see that this case involved everything from British spies to the Queen herself as they sought to understand what happened between these two teenage boys.

Kriget om Falklandsöarna mellan Argentina och Storbritannien år 1982 var kriget som aldrig skulle ha utkämpats. Den negativa inrikespolitiska utvecklingen i militärdiktaturens Argentina samverkade med gamla anspråkskrav på Falklandsöarna – eller Malvinerna som de kallas på spanska. Argentinarna besatte ögruppen med militär. Storbritannien under Margaret Thatchers ledning antog utmaningen och sände en expeditionsstyrka för att utkämpa britternas måhända sista kolonialkrig. Men var det värt insatsen?Denna fråga och mycket mer diskuterar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved i avsnitt 30 av Militärhistoriepodden.Kriget på Falklandsöarna hade många drag som gör det unikt i flera avseenden. Argentinarnas närhet till krigsområdet gav dem en fördel. Dessutom var Argentina inte helt utan militär kapacitet. Både en relativt stor flotta och ett flygvapen att räkna med. Men att möta en motståndare med britternas kapacitet skulle visa sig vara katastrofalt. Det fanns redan på förhand en nivåskillnad i militär kompetens som argentinarna skulle ha tagit mer på allvar. Men kanske utgick de från att det aldrig skulle bli krig?Storbritannien förde krig på andra sidan jordklotet med en expeditionsflotta som i mycket stor utsträckning måste klara sig själv. Logistiskt var insatsen anmärkningsvärd. Uppgiften att hålla den ganska stora argentinska flottan på behörigt avstånd och undvika förluster på grund av det argentinska flygvapnets anfall var svår. Trots teknisk överlägsenhet och utbildning var inte framgången given på förhand. Två brigader skulle landsättas och ta sig an uppgiften att besegra en numerärt större motståndare som både hade haft god tid till förberedelser och som dessutom hade tunga vapen att försvara sina ställningar på höjderna kring Port Stanley. Frågan är vad som egentligen avgjorde kriget?Falklandskrigets slutstrider vid Goose Green och väster om Port Stanley blev infanteristrid med många brutala påminnelser om krigets nakna verklighet: att döda eller dödas. När det brittiska yrkesinfanteriet av marinkårssoldater, fallskärmsjägare och gardessoldater bröt in och brutalt rensade de argentinska ställningarna som hölls av i huvudsak illa ledda värnpliktiga kan det verka som att allt var givet på förhand. Men ingenting var självklart. Britterna kämpade med krigets friktioner vad gäller transporter, brist på understöd och vädret. Att numerärt underlägsna anfalla en fiende som har haft lång tid till förberedelser innebär förluster. Britterna förlorade i kriget 255 i döda och 775 skadades. Argentina miste 649 döda och 1 657 skadade.Om du vill läsa mer kan vi rekommendera den brittiske journalisten och författaren Max Hastings och Simon Jenkins bok som finns på svenska Slaget om Falklandsöarna. I övrigt återfinns en rad titlar om kriget på engelska som tar upp i stort sätt alla aspekter av konflikten. Martin Middlebrook The Falklands War är en som kan rekommenderas eller Duncan Andersson kortare The Falklands War 1982.Bild: Den argentinska kryssaren ARA General Belgrano har svår slagsida efter att ha attackerats av en brittisk ubåt under Falklandskonflikten.

Date of Recording: 03/12/2018 Description: The Parachute Regiment played a prominent role in the 1982 Falklands conflict. They fought iconic battles at Goose Green, Mount Longdon and Wireless Ridge, and won both the war’s Victoria Crosses. Combat in the Falklands transformed the Paras’ reputation in the public mind, and moved them away from the legacies of their involvement in Northern Ireland. This lecture examines this elite unit of the British Army before, during and after the Falklands war; and in so doing, offers a window into Britain’s changing society in the 1970s and the 1980s. Who were the men who chose to join the ranks of a Regiment like the Paras in the 1970s? How did they experience combat in the Falklands? And what did it mean, for them, their families, and for Britain, after they returned home? Bio: Helen Parr teaches at Keele University. She has previously written on Britain’s relations with Europe. This lecture marks the publication of her book, Our Boys: The Story of a Paratrooper (Allen Lane, 2018).

Robert Fox discusses his sombre return to the Falklands to advise on a new feature film about the Battle of Goose Green – where he was one of only two journalists embedded with British forces. In conversation with Harry Mount.

Sista delen om slaget vid Goose Green. Avsnittet handlar om hur britterna försöker komma ur sin låsta position vid Darwin Hill och vi luskar i vad som hände när överstelöjtnant Jones, befälhavaren för andra fallskärmsjägarbataljonen, stupade.(Repris från 2015)

Här fortsätter berättelsen om slaget vid Goose Green under Falklandskriget 1982. Andra bataljonen i brittiska fallskärmsjägarregementet ska nu ta sig ner till startlinjen för anfallet.(Repris från 2015)

Det största slaget på Falklandsöarna ägde rum den 28 maj 1982. På ena sidan stod britternas andra bataljon från fallskärmsjägarregementet och på andra argentinska infanteriregementen som haft nästan två månader på sig att förskansa sig. På spel stod orterna Darwin och Goose Green. Under detta slag användes bajonetter, svenska Grg M/48, napalm, artilleri, pansarskott, finkalibrig- och prickskytteeld. Dessutom ser vi om vi kan komma lösningen närmare på vem det var som sköt ihjäl befälhavaren för 2 Para, överstelöjtnant Jones.(Repris från 2015)

Wigan Cosmos Football Club - Views from the touchline.....featuring highlights from the fantastic day and game vs Goose Green at St James' Park, Newcastle, the home of Newcastle United. Hopefully we did this fantastic ground justice.... Episode 1 coming soon....

With unique access to secret government papers, Martha Kearney presents a look at the political events of 1982 as told through the Cabinet minutes, Prime Ministerial papers and Foreign and Commonwealth Office documents and briefings that are being released to the public at the end of the year. Close to 30,000 Government papers containing top secret memos, notes and briefings are included in the release, and the Radio 4 team have been given special access over the last few weeks. In a dramatic year, 1982 saw Britain at war with Argentina over the Falklands, which is expected to dominate much of the papers released under the thirty year rule. We anticipate discovering details of the talks to avert conflict, of events such as the loss of HMS Sheffield and the Battle of Goose Green, and of the controversial sinking of the Argentine Navy cruiser General Belgrano. In addition we may well find out details of how the Franks Inquiry into the Falklands War put politicians and civil servants under the spotlight and how those around Margaret Thatcher sought to capitalise on her renewed popularity in the wake of the victory in the South Atlantic. Producer: Deborah Dudgeon A Whistledown Production for BBC Radio 4, in association with Takeaway Media.

The Falklands War is one of the few modern wars between two modern adversaries (in this case, Argentina and Britain).  The war was over the Falkland Islands, off of the southeastern coast of Argentina which Britain held and Argentina claimed. General Leopold Galtieri, leader of Argentina, decided to act because he needed something to justify his military government.  He launched Operation Azul to successfully capture the islands.  Margaret Thatcher, leader of Britain, decided to respond militarily. Air War: Operation Black Buck (UK) conducts air raids against Argentinean targets.  Argentina attempts to respond with its own air force but fails.Sea War: ARA General Belgrano is sunk by the HMS Conqueror (the first and only nuclear submarine kill in history).  The HMS Sheffield is sunk by an Exocet missile.Ground War: SAS conducts successful raid against Pebble Island Airfield.  Main Royal Marines force lands in East Falkland Islands and defeats Argentinean defenders at Goose Green, Top Malo, Mount Harriet, Two Sisters Ridge, Mount Longdon, Wireless Ridge, Tumbledown.  British retake capital city of Stanley.  Argentina surrenders.
