SS Canberra, the Return, July 11, 1982

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- This is a heavily edited version of the original live ITV broadcast of the Canberra returning to Southampton on July 11, 1982 after a three month voyage in the South Atlantic. Canberra was a key element of the British Task Force sent to liberate the Falkland Islands from Argentine invasion. The edited version focuses on 3 Commando Brigade and 59 Independent Commando Squadron Royal Engineers. My apologies for many other interviews that have been cut from this version to reduce the duration to below 15 minutes.

Thanks for putting this up Rod. I was there with my father welcoming my brother home. He will tell you he is not a hero but for me he was. Not because he was fighting a war to protect Maggie's re-election but purely because he survived and came home. He was and still is sad because of those that never got to go home to their families. Both British & Argentinian.
@Justin Time , you are quite right but if his brother fought there he's allowed to criticise any politician he likes.
Roderick Macdonald often points out in his lectures that the war led to the collapse of the Argentinian dictatorship which had killed 30,000 of its own citizens. For which thy received no thanks (from the Argentinians).
@Justin Time
and what respect there was in 1833 when the UK invaded the Falklands and evicted 200 Argentines, then implanting British settlers ?
@Justin Time Investigate attempts to force British occupation of Spanish possessions in the southern Atlantic. Invasions of the Rio de la Plata in 1806 and 1807, Malvinas 1833, Confederacion Argentina 1838-1846. Remember the British Falklands retreat in 1774.
@Justin Time On June 10, 1770, the then Governor of Buenos Aires, Francisco de Paula Bucarelli, ordered the eviction of the British occupants of the Falkland Islands, which at that time were considered as crucial territory for the control of the inter-oceanic passage between the Atlantic and Pacific and the southernmost areas of the planet.
The importance of the Falklands had already been highlighted by George Anson, the first lord of the British Admiralty when he pointed out that "This island must handle the ports and commerce of Chile, Peru, Panama, Acapulco and, in a word, all the Spanish territory in that sea. It will make all our expeditions to these parts more lucrative for us and more fatal for Spain."
@Justin Time debes estudiar mucho más, no sabes nada.
wife: "wow you mustve been so scared fighting those hordes of argentinians"
marines: "no. but they were definitely scared of fighting us"
Mmmmm, do u think the sticker "effective in combat" on the excocets is good?
Jeep Samp torpeados are pretty damn effective.
I was there waiting for my son to come of that ship very proud mum
You have a lot to be proud of😊
You should be proud of him,
I hope he’s living a great life.
God save the queen 🇬🇧 your son put the Great back into Great Britain.
While living in England at that time 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 your Son makes everyone proud.
A proud moment for the British following the rescue of the Falklands. It did much to restore Britain's reputation in the world, and rescued Mrs. Thatcher's administration to go on and restore the British economy. A time of which to be proud.
Yes thatchers political recovery was the only negative aspect of the 1982 war. She played the game well and many of the UK forces were lost in the process.
When we were allowed to be proud to be British.
Still bloody proud 🇬🇧
Always proud, no one can stop it!
You should always be proud 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
a time to be proud unlike today
Tears every time! Rule Britannia
Nothing wrong with that! 🇬🇧
Somebody was looking down on the Canberra.God save the Queen...
Thanks to all .
Las Islas Malvinas son y serán Argentinas! Los Ingleses las usurparon y la reina es una ladrona despiadada. De eso No hay ninguna duda.
The SS Canberra had a slogan on its side when she returned stating ' Canberra cruises, where the QE2 refuses'. To think that 4 years later in Gibraltar l was a member of the Regimental band, bugles, pipes & drums the 2nd bn the Royal Irish Rangers who played her off on her final voyage before retirement. The great white whale was a magnificent vessel. Belfast, her home was proud of her then. We still are. For the record. The great white whale went into retirement to the sounds of 'Sailing'. That was a memorable day. Faugh-a-Ballagh
Robert, thank you for your wonderful comments ..........
Thank you for sharing, Robert.
I was watching on Hurst Castle with my children to welcome her home.
Very nicely put together Roderick, and good that your reunion with your family was captured, even if the reporters question to you wife was typically stupid.👍
Thank you for your kind comment Norman. It is much appreciated.
Roderick Macdonald Hi Roderick, I have just watched your video hosted on another channel th-cam.com/video/vh5Z6MgxTsk/w-d-xo.html - I added a comment thinking it was directed to your channel (in error) so I will post here -
Roderick
Thank you for posting this. I enjoyed it and could have handled another hour!
Absolutely loved the Lancelot episode and expect you have dined out on that one a few times.
I was 'involved' serving as an engineer on a carrier (the one that the Argentinians claimed to have sunk), so while busy most of the time - had some time to think. As mere engineers we could just not understand the logic of the South Georgia and Goose Green Ops at the time - the only upside I suppose was neutralising Sante Fe (Sub) - but that was mere happen stance. They may have also created fear, uncertainty and doubt for Menendez.
Just one very minor point so you can amend your speaking notes - at 29:30 Antelope 21 Frigate (not 42).
I think I have caught up with all your output to You Tube - anymore?😀
Thank you so much for your helpful comments Norman. You are so right about dear Antelope our escort F21 Frigate. I met up recently with a retired Argentine Brigadier General who was a commando on the Falklands/Malvinas. He confirmed the neither South Georgia or Goose Green made any difference to them. As long as they controlled Stanley they controlled negotiations for the Islands. He said they were worried by two events. Firstly when we landed and secondly when they realized we had built an airfield and had harriers ashore. Congratulations on your service as an engineer on board ship. There are no "mere" engineers, just essential and brave ones. Thank you. If you want to watch more you can go to corecorporateconsulting.com/government-services/ which covers most of what has been published on different events. Thank you again Norman.

This is a painful time for 255 British families. RIP J Smith 42 Cdo died from his wounds. It is the 08 July 2023. It was believed that Jerry died from mortar fire, however new evidence indicates that he was killed by a sniper. Two very different causes of death and the body I would have thought gave the cause. Missed, my sons has his buttons on his blues.
It took me a while and reading some comments to figure out that it was You and your wife being interviewed as you came ashore. Your measured responses to some If the comments were very classy. Here’s to you and your fellow Marines and soldiers from an American veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom (albeit as a REMF 😉). 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thank you for your kind comments JBM435, which are very much appreciated. Thank you for serving in the US Armed Forces. I have lived in the US now for over 30 years now. We are all US citizens and very happy living in California. I am in touch with fellow army commandos, marines and sailors in the UK.

🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷 volveremos !!!!
No piknic😂
was up there for that,my father was in the RM band,sadly however despite all the promises ,and an early start on the coach to get there ,we didn’t see much as we got stuck in the back of the shed, ,and i mean right at the back , bar lots of noise and seeing a white wall slide up in front of the door ,that was it.
Reading Falklands Commando on my kindle now and it's very good!
Enjoy it no nation would ever achieve a victory like the British did the logistics were impossible try it and it would fail a fact
Maybe a mention for us of 2 para and 3 para this so called war wasnt only achieved by the marines it was by all of us
Thank you for your comment. This film is simply about the return of the Canberra. It is not a documentary on the Falklands War where many units, land, sea and air were involved. This was a naval campaign, which, without the Royal Navy, would have been impossible. For more of my personal experience, which includes Goose Green and Mount Longdon see:

Welcome home!
This announcer said June 11th. I would know because I was there when the Canberra came into Port!!! I was still in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 11th. I was visiting relatives in Southampton. It is one of the highlight moments of my life...
Thank you. It's an easy slip of the tongue. You are right. The date of the return was July 11.

Argentina nunca ha sido dueña de las Islas Malvinas, Argentina no tiene derecho a pelear por algo que nunca han tenido. Había colonos británicos viviendo en las islas desde 1765 antes de que existiera Argentina y probablemente antes de que España supiera incluso que existían las islas. España estaba demasiado ocupada cometiendo genocidio contra los aztecas, mayas e incas por su oro en los lugares más cálidos de América del Sur.

I was in South America loading Aviation fuel on a Merchant Vessel…. I am sure the Venezualians might have stopped us if they knew what we were doing. I sailed to South Africa afterwards. This brings back so many memories
It makes no sense with the video than with what you said wachin
@@nicolaschavez6280 What are you on about? He was more than likely a member of the Merchant Navy or in the Navy on a Merchant vessel. He was there to load fuel for Vulcans and other aircraft, and Venezuela probably didn't want a regional conflict/didn't understand how overpowered the Argies would be.
Although your profile photo explains a bit.
Argentina facts= third world, poverty stricken and forever a banana republic dictatorship. Britain facts= Thriving democracy and economy, well organized and the falklanders want to be British forever. And don't accuse the falklanders of not being indigenous or the British generally of being imperialist since Argentines themselves are not indigenous to Argentina since they're all of European origin (only the native indians are indiginous to Argentina) and the Argentine nation itself exists only as a result of Spanish imperialism.
Hechos argentinos = tercer mundo, sumido en la pobreza y para siempre una dictadura de la república bananera. Datos de Gran Bretaña = Democracia y economía prósperas, bien organizados y los habitantes de las Islas Malvinas quieren ser británicos para siempre. Y no acusen a los habitantes de las islas Malvinas de no ser indígenas ni a los británicos en general de imperialistas, ya que los propios argentinos no son indígenas de Argentina ya que todos son de origen europeo (solo los indígenas nativos son indígenas de Argentina) y la nación argentina existe. sólo como resultado del imperialismo español.

Esto es completamente irrelevante para el 99.98% de la población de las Islas Malvinas que vota para ser británica en el referéndum de 2014. Se llama democracia, un tipo de gobierno del que parece que ustedes argentinos no saben demasiado..................LAS ISLAS FALKLAND NO SON UNA COLONIA BRITÁNICA, LAS ISLAS SON UNA DEMOCRACIA INDEPENDIENTE Y VOTARON 99.98% EN 2014 PARA SER BRITÁNICAS. ARGENTINA TAMBIÉN ES UN TERRITORIO INDEPENDIENTE ... AMBOS ESTÁN A MILES DE MILLAS LEJOS DE GRAN BRETAÑA Y ESPAÑA ..... EL BRITÁNICO LLEGÓ A LAS ISLAS CUANDO ESTUVIERON VACÍOS EN 1765 Y HAN VIVIDO ALLÍ DESDE ... EL GOBIERNO ARGENTINO NO PUEDE AJUSTAR LA HISTORIA SÓLO SUS PROPÓSITOS Y LAVAR CEREBROS A LOS CIUDADANOS ARGENTINOS PARA PENSAR QUE SON PROPIETARIOS DE LAS ISLAS.........................................Estados Unidos tiene Hawai y la isla de Guam, Chile tiene la Isla de Pascua, Dinamarca tiene Groenlandia, Francia tiene la Isla Kerguelen, Gran Bretaña tiene Diego García, Gran Bretaña tiene la Isla Ascensión, Gran Bretaña tiene las Islas Malvinas ... Todos los miles de millas de sus dueños ... como la colonia española que ahora se conoce como Argentina, que está a miles de millas de España ... Entonces, lo que usted dice acerca de que las Islas Malvinas están a miles de millas de Gran Bretaña, el mismo argumento se aplica a Argentina...............................Hecho histórico. Las Malvinas son Los Malvinos en español, que significa Les Malouines, que es el nombre de los habitantes de St Malo en Bretaña, Francia. Las islas carecían de vida humana y eran completamente desconocidas para los españoles cuando los piratas franceses lo descubrieron en el siglo XVII y los piratas vinieron de St Malo y lo nombraron en honor a la gente de St Malo, de ahí Les Malouines, era una base para que los piratas atacaran Barcos españoles, luego se les unieron piratas británicos, muchos de ellos eran de Cornualles y Devonianos del sudoeste y hablaban un idioma similar al de los bretones y ambos se clasificaron como primos, por lo que se llevaron bien. finalmente fueron expulsados o capturados y colgados por la Royal Navy, luego se convirtieron en las Islas Malvinas. Francia no podía reclamarlos ya que fueron descubiertos por piratas, España no sabía que existían. Gran Bretaña era el único poder que podía reclamarlos como territorio británico, y para asegurarse de que se convirtieran en británicos los colonizaron en 1756 ..... Por favor, dejen de escuchar al ministerio de propaganda argentino.

June the 11th???? The conflict ended on 14th June 1982
Correct, the surrender was signed at 2359Zulu on June 14. Canberra returned the 8,000 miles home, with 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines on July 11, 1982. This is that story.
Argentina no tiene ningún argumento. Las Malvinas nunca han sido territorio argentino. En 1832 se llevaron las Malvinas de Gran Bretaña, que había estado allí durante unos 70 años. Un año después, Gran Bretaña también los volvió y los ha tenido desde entonces. Argentina tiene cero reclamo sobre las islas.
Pity the cameras never kept rolling, they would of seen what was unloaded from that ship by me and a load of other guys. The body bags and boxes of body parts and the dead. Something that was
suppose to kept hush hush.
I agree over 250 men lost their lives some never left the islands.

He says June. You say July.
It's a slip of the tongue. July is correct. Fighting was still going on in June with the surrender on June 14 ...........
How many of these have suicideds since ?
I am not an expert on this subject but as far as the people I know within 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines I do not know of anyone who committed suicide. You might be interested on this article which gives a more informed opinion: www.theguardian.com/uk/defence-and-security-blog/2013/may/14/falklands-veterans-suicide-army
The ex-servicemens society SSAFA is now claiming that it is probable that more Falklands veterans have committed suicide since the end of the conflict than were killed during it. This claim cannot be verified, nor can the degree to which their service in the Falklands contributed to the suicides... but still, it gives you pause for thought... or at least, it certainly should.

@8:22 "And there's Brigadier Jeremy Thompson." Ooops!
I went to Argentina about 10 years after the war and travelled all over the country. I found the Argentina people very friendly and hospitable and went to the memorial to the Argentine dead which was very sad and it all seemed to be very futile. The war had to be fought but it should never have happened at all.

De acuerdo, y las FALKLANDS siempre serán nuestras. Sin embargo, no podemos actuar como si nosotros, como imperio, no cometiéramos también genocidios y atrocidades. Menos que los españoles a pesar del estigma del colonialismo Britain, pero el argumento sigue en pie.

Sad that this great ship was scrapped in 1997 .. my fond memories of her were in 1961 when I sailed aboard this fine ship as a crew member on her maiden voyage.....
Me and my girlfriend had the honour of sailing on the Canberra shortly after her refit after the Falklands conflict..about 85/86 i think.
My girlfriend's sister won a 2 week cruise from P&O...and couldn't go..so we had a free cruise round the Med.
Amazing watching this again....True Heroes every one of them.

You are quite right. In those days, that was what was expected for officers, much as it was with BBC announcers as well. I'm pleased to say that has changed since. Thank you for your astute observation.
