- A BBC news report on the return of HMS Hermes from the Falkland Islands (1982)
Off air recording made onto Philips Video 2000 format tape, hence dodgy playback (compared to VHS) when copied to DVD after 28 years (in 2010, and now finally uploaded in 2017) - the recorder still played back, even if some tapes have deteriorated a bit.
While an old ship. She did a fantastic job. Couldnt have done it without her.
'Proud of Her' Only to sell HMS Hermes two years later. Such gratitude.
But now I hear that they are doing there best to save her from scrap, and preserve her in liverpool, we can only hope and wait.
She continues the serve by providing funds for the public coffers
@@damionord9142 US hegemony kind of sucks
@@damionord9142 why will they be commanded by the US, then? I thought we were just a customer buying the jets. They have more than enough carrier strike groups of their own...the issue is that these carriers need a lot of planes to operate at optimal capacity and make sense (plus more in reserve) and our government is dragging its feet on ordering them. It makes me wonder why they even bothered paying for a pair of giant carriers if they can't afford the planes...maybe should have just ordered one and saved the cash to pay for planes + investing in destroyers for a protective surface fleet. Outside of US planes, I don't know what else we'd operate anyway? Typhoons and Tornados are really old now, and the proposed Tempest project is years off.
All good things must come to an end.
Don't forget the Merchant Navy who sailed unarmed.
Yes , and the Atlantic Conveyor took a missile for the Hermes
Almost 40 years later and there is immense pride in my chest. I wonder, if something like that ever happened again, would we ALL get behind the effort? I suspect not… and THAT is the real tragedy.
Make patriotism different from racism… it’s makes no sense. And re introduce OUR National Anthem to our schools and media ASAP.
Rule Britannia 🇬🇧
After the return of the fleet, the British population increased a little bit.
It's sad that it takes war to unite the people and the country.Why can t we do the same in peacetime?. And Margaret Thatcher talks about pride when she almost wiped the Royal Navy clean off ships.Never ,never,never trust or believe any politician they are all the same. I am proud of our armed forces unfortunately they are always tasked and rearly properly kitted out for the task at hand,more so to be proud of them.
RESPECT TO OUR FORCES FROM GIBRALTAR 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇬🇮
Johnny Mercer is different. Just wished he was PM of our great Great Britain! 🇬🇧
Rule Britannia!!
May the British return to my home , Hong Kong
Tovey Churchill fuck britaniaaaa
@@georgecamblenjr5124 F*ck you
And we still have 3 who didn't like this. Shame on you if you are Brits.
That's probably argie who still think they sank her or invincible
How the empire struck back
Shame she wasn't preserved, but then, none of the task force ships were that I know of.

@@claudiorequejo8404 You lost every battle haha the FALKLANDS ARE BRITISH 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💥💥💥💥
@@BAKEDPOTATOLARDYASS It cost the Royal Navy THREE WW2-design torpedoes to put the entire Argentine navy out of action.
And then scrapped her.
How Middleton became Commander of Hermes is a complete mystery - his operations performance during the war left a lot to be desired.
Where is your evidence , he stopped the ship from being hit by excocet missile and was in charge of the successful attack on Pebble Island by special forces
Lyn Middleton was not everyone's cup of tea but he was a fine naval aviator and sea captain. I liked the man.
liked the sign at Blockhouse welcome home skimmers what kept you
England NO PICNIC
Argentina beaten on land , sea and air ... Rule Britannia

Esta vieja fue elejida la mujer mas sexi de inglaterra! Lo se porque cuando entraba al parlamento todos los miembros se paraban!
No la echarías de la cama
El H.M.S Hermes fue alcanzado por un misil exocet AM 39 el día 4 de mayo luego de eso fue remolcado a Montevideo (Uruguay)y después fue remolcado a la isla ascensión donde permanecería allí hasta la finalización del conflicto ...
Whatever...... Yawn........
Jajaja, ya deja las drogas.
