<HTML>Joe,

Pretty good, showing the war from both sides. I was amazed to see that the Argie air force reckoned they'd scored a hit on HMS Hermes - and even had this mark up on their squadron board to this day. Plus they have a HMS Sheffield sinking parade - which is sick, considering they are trying to sue us for the loss of the Belgrano!

Also, that the French did sell arming and target info for the Exocets they had sled to Argentina - despite assuring us that they would not. Where there is money, there is no love.....

No mate, Hermes wasn't damaged at all. They hit Atlantic Conveyor instead - and claimed it too....

One image that really got me was of the Canberra steaming through a lop, with one of the 21's alongside. I couldn't help wondering if that was my ship....

Two more programmes to go - one tonight, one next week. They are all documentaries, mate - no John Wayne!

Aye,

John</HTML>
