成人快手 Radio Solent's Julian Clegg programme brought together听a group of people with vivid memories of the Falklands Conflict during a special programme marking the anniversary of the departure of the first ships of the Task Force in April 1982.

Mike Park

Mike Park was in charge of a team of shipwrights at Portsmouth Naval Base when the Falklands crisis erupted.

An added twist was that many of the workers had just been handed redundancy notices as part of cutbacks at the dockyard.

Despite that,听 Mike and his team worked around the clock to get the ships ready to sail within days of the invasion.

Christopher Dale

Christopher Dale was a leading weapons electrical mechanic on board HMS Antrim. He was involved in the first action of the conflict with the re-taking of South Georgia.

He remembers how the highs of that victory soon disappeared as news came through of the sinking off HMS Sheffield and other ships off the Falklands coastline.

The feeling of going to action stations for real is something which remains with Christopher when years of training was finally put into action.

Julia Massey

Julia Massey was one of the team of military nurses who were dispatched to the Falklands onboard the SS Uganda cruise ship which was hastily refurbished as a hospital ship in Gibralter.

Many of the medical staff were based at HMS Haslar in Gosport.

Along with the rest of the nurses, doctors, physiotherapists and other specialists, Julia cared for 730 casualties of the war, including 180 injured Argentine soldiers.

Phil Currier

Phil Currier was a 20-year-old trainee chef still in training at HMS Drake (a shore establishment in Plymouth) when the Argentines invaded.

He was ordered back from Easter leave and onto HMS Hermes and sailed straight for the Falklands.

One of Phil's most vivid memories is hearing the warning of an incoming Exocet missile which hit and destroyed the Atlantic Conveyor.
