On 18 May 1982............

................I took off from ATLANTIC CONVEYOR in a GR3 and transferred to HERMES.

With my fellow GR3 drivers, we were effectively the Cavalry which allowed the SHAR community to abandon the dangerous low-level stuff, and leave that to us, while they bravely CAP'd in the safety of flight above 20,000' above any ARG ground defence threats, looking down for unsuspecting targets to go after with their AIM-9L's.

And three days later, the real stuff started when the boots got onto the ground..................

More to come, if anyone is interested!!!!!!
