The Falklands

It was a textbook operation in the best tradition of the SAS - a daring nigh-time `hit-and-run-like-hell' raid on an Argentine airstrip on Pebble Island. This programme includes a first-hand account from one of the men in G Squadron who were secretly landed on the Falklands Islands before the main British landings. About 40 men were involved in high risk missions, relaying a continuous stream of intelligence from covert-observation posts in difficult and boggy terrain set in a desolate and freezing enemy-occupied landscape.
