Details of the Top Secret Royal Air Force missions to carry out long-range bombing raids on the Falkland Islands, as part of OPERATION CORPORATE, the UK’s attempt to reclaim sovereignty over the Islands.
In this talk, I will describe the operation and the buildup to it that would see RAF VICTOR and VULCAN aircraft perform a complex and record-breaking mission that resulted in the award of two Distinguished Flying Crosses and one Air Force Cross during the 1982 conflict.

ABOUT ME: I’m an accredited member of the International Guild of Battlefield Guides and also a volunteer with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. With over 37 years of military experience, both full-time and part-time, I’ve had the privilege of serving in a variety of roles including: Garrison Commander, Assessor at the Army Officer Selection Board and Commanding Officer of a Reserve Regiment.
WHAT I DO: When I’m not leading battlefield tours, history walks, or conducting research, I share my knowledge and passion for history with groups and organisations across Sussex, Surrey, and Kent. While many of my talks focus on military history, I’ve found that many of my subjects are appealing to a wide audience.
WHAT I OFFER. I prefer to deliver my presentations in person but am also able to facilitate online presentations. Each presentation lasts between 45 mins and 1 hr. All can be tailored to the needs of your group. I require a suitable screen or wall to projrect onto.
