This is an on-line verison of the exhibition held at Emsworth Museum in 2022 to mark the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War.
It is based mainly on HMS Antrim, a Portsmouth manned guided missile destroyer, which re-took South Georgia and then spearheaded the landings in San Carlos Water. Here she “collected” an unexploded 500lb bomb which passed through her main missile magazine.
Each of the panels shown in the exhibition can be viewed, together with more detailed information.
