Line of Fire - The Fall of Port Stanley


Line of Fire - The Fall of Port Stanley

June 1982 saw the final battles of the Falklands War. For the servicemen of the British Task Force, the campaign to defeat a determined enemy had been difficult and costly, but now the capital Stanley, the final prize, lay within their grasp. This programme tells the story of the drive to liberate Stanley, during which battles such as those at Tumbledown and Mount Longdon found their way into the pages of British military history. Featuring computer animated 3D graphics that clearly illustrate strategy, tactics and the ebb and flow of the battles, the programme draws on extensive archive footage. Also featured are atmospheric battle recreations, new location footage and expert comment and analysis.

The Falklands conflict led to the Vulcan being used for the first time in anger in 25 years of RAF service; 44, 50 and 101 Sqdn. aircraft were involved in Operation Corporate with five crews selected, two from 50 Sqdn., one each from 44 Sqdn. and 101 Sqdn., plus others from the disbanded 9 Sqdn. This beautiful painting portrays the mighty XM607 at altitude during the work up period prior to active operations. During the Falklands War XM607, piloted by Martin Withers, flew there and back from Ascension Island non-stop, covering a staggering 7,500 miles; the flight lasted 15 hours 45 minutes - at the time, the longest combat flight in history. The Vulcan was refuelled by Victor tankers five times on the outward journey and once on the return journey.
