About this listen

The British Task Force makes its way down south, but it appears not everybody understands where they are going.

The eight-thousand-mile journey means there’s plenty of time to look at a map. 

There’s also time for some unconventional training which makes for a surreal experience when it’s happening on board a luxury cruise liner.

Many of the troops don’t believe they’re headed to battle, until there’s news of Britain’s first attack swiftly followed by Argentina’s retaliation.

This is an original podcast from BFBS.

Presented by Ben Coley

Produced by Ben Coley, Jess Bracey, Jade Callaway, Gini Carlin, Sean Harper and Tim Humphries

Sound Design by Joe Carden

Edited by Josella Waldron

With thanks to Paul Condon and Jane Franklin at Force News and the Falkland Islands Radio Service
