Suede – My Dark Star (Acoustic)

Posted in Falkland Islands History  by Discovery Falklands

I noticed that the person who originally uploaded this either deleted it or his/her accountant was delted. I was pissed off seeing as how this vid is one of my favourite Suede vids on youtube, its absolutley beautiful to see Brett and Bernard together playing one of my favourite Suede songs, this song is found on Sci-Fi Lullabies, a very emotional performance on both Brett’s and Bernard’s part and proof that Suede are more than what meets the ear. Help YouTube prove it’s worth upload more Suede videos icon wink Suede   My Dark Star (Acoustic) ENJOY!!!

“Buenos Aires” Antipodean’s photos around Buenos Aires, Argentina (buenos aires tango bridge)

Posted in Falkland Islands History  by Discovery Falklands

Preview of Antipodean’sblog at TravelPod. Read the full blog here: www.travelpod.com This blog preview was made by TravelPod using the TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow creator. Entry from: Buenos Aires, Argentina Entry Title: “Buenos Aires” Entry: “Buenos Aires is the tango capital of South America – basically where the tango was born in the 1920s. Thirteen million people inhabit the capital of Argentina, and it is a city of many different districts. BA is considered the richest city in South America, and even in the Southern Hemisphere. People of BA are called people of the port, or ‘portenos’. The President of Argentina resides and works in BA, and it is the home of Evita Peron, the famous wife of President Juan Peron who died in 1974. Evita, for those who don’t know (and there seem to be a few) sang the famous song “Don’t cry for me Argentina” from the balcony of the presidential ‘palace’. Evita died at the age of 30, and both her and her husband were very much loved by the people. Argentina has a had marred political history, with 4 dictators, the last of which was ousted in the mid 1980s. BA is a very politically charged city, with us seeing numerous protests while we were there for our 3 days. The last dictator was not popular, and decided to increase his popularity by invading the Falkland Islands, which at the time was a British Colony (this was in the early 80s). He sent inexperienced soldiers into battle for a 2 month war, and lost more hope in his followers as

My tribute to the Harrier

Posted in Falkland Islands History  by Discovery Falklands

My tribute to the Harrier. I have used a mixture of footage from air shows and war time. The Harrier’s beginning’s were with the Hawker p.1127 . Design began in 1957 by Sir Sydney Camm , Ralph Hooper and Sir Stanley Hooker of the Bristol engine company. The first vertical take-off was on 21 October 1960. The P.1127 developed into the Hawker Siddeley Kestrel FGA.1. The Kestrel was strictly an evaluation aircraft, and only nine were produced, the first flying on march 7 1964. At the time of the development of the P.1127, Hawker had started on a design for a supersonic version, the Hawker p1154. After this was cancelled in 1965, the RAF began looking at a simple upgrade of the Kestrel as the P.1127(RAF). In mid-1966, the P.1127(RAF) was ordered by the RAF as the Harrier GR.1, with the first preproduction aircraft flying the following year.The Harrier GR.3 featured improved sensors countermeasures and a further upgraded Pegasus Mk 103. This model saw a lot service in the Falklands war mainly for ground attack. Also the BAE Sea Harrier FRS.1 which was mainly for fleet air defence. The Sea Harrier, developed from the GR.3, was important to the naval activities. Twenty Sea Harriers were operated from the carriers HMS Hermes and Invincible . Although they destroyed 21 argentine aircraft in air combat with no loss there were not enough of them to establish complete air superiority and prevent Argentine attacks and daily flights of C-130 Hercules transports to the islands.
