Great to see the photo of Shackleton's grave, a proud Irishman and probably the finest Royal Navy officer of all time. I am sure he would have been proud of the actions by HM forces 30 years ago.

Love this, my dad was in the Falklands with the RN in 83.

That Wasp from HMS Plymouth was flown by my brother - goodbye submarine!

Thanks from an Antrim '82 guy :)

Awesome!!! I have allways been fascinated by operation paraquat! It made us all proud to be british! one of my earliest memorys as a kid is ofJohn Nott reading out that signal on the news that night and I've been interested ever since. :"Be pleased to inform Her Majesty that the White Ensign flies alongside the Union Jack in South Georgia. God save the Queen." Fantastic, don't suppose anyone knows who composed it? my guess is it must have been Nick Barker, Brian Young or Guy Sheridan? anybody?

Plymouth now rotting away in a corner of birkenhead docks, disgraceful......why not let sea cadets or r n r use as a base.

@NAIAD49 .....Sorry I Dont know
If it hadnt been for a Seaman on HMS Endurance the re taking of South Georgia might never have happened when it did he probably averted disaster saving 600 Men Under Radar Silence ,Navigation lights off to rejoin the task force off South Georgia late one night off duty he went onto the STBD bridge wing seconds later he threw the bridge door open shouting theres a destroyer heading straight for usThe captain ordered hard to port , Antrim yrds away sailed down our STBD side all hush hush
