Description:

In the third of our series on the Falklands Air War we look at two further aspects of the campaign – battle damage and maintenance of the Sea Harriers. This is followed by an examination of how the Islands were defended post-conflict.

Our first interview is with Philip Crabtree (Fleet Air Arm retired), who worked on keeping the Sea Harriers operational and repairing battle damage when they returned from operations

We then go to the end of the conflict and see what happened after the war had finished and speak to Dave Gledhill (Flight Commander 1435 Flight) about his role on two tours defending the islands from the air.
