Episode 3

We hear from an Argentine fighter who attempted to repel an SAS platoon bent on blowing up all the aircraft on his runway, and the Falklands police chief. This man disappeared into the mountains when the Argentines invaded, only to emerge when the British troops arrived. He was later made an honorary Paratrooper for guiding them through the minefields.
