Harry Benson on the "Helicopter War in the Falklands"

Aged 21, Harry Benson was one of the youngest Royal Navy commando helicopter pilots to serve in the Falklands war in 1982. Forty years on he talks to an audience at the Fleet Air Arm museum Yeovilton about the role of helicopters in the Falklands war. He starts by talking about how he came to write SCRAM!

Bought this book twice. One on my shelf and one on my sons. Fantastic read. Not the most pleasing looking helicopter of its time, but what character and affection we had when flying in the thing compared to the Puma.
