Hello all,

This thread made me get out some of my books on the Falklands.
War in The Falklands
The campain in pictures
By the Sunday Express Magazine team. ISBN- 0 297 78202 9.

Page 29 The Fleet Departs.
And when the carriers sailed, they did so with scaffolding still
around Hermes` bridge, and with scores of dockyard workers
still aboard. ( Many, poignantly, had redundancy notices in their pockets.)
None of that mattered. They sailed, as the navy had promised, on the
morning tide. They turned into the Solent, hulls shining in the haze.
Then slowly, slowly they were gone.

I wonder if those workers ever found employment again ?


Page 41 The Long Voyage South.
\" Dying for Queen and Country is one thing,\" a Marine officer remarked
grimly.\" Dying for Mrs Thatcher is quite another.\"

Regards, Vin.</HTML>
