BFBS Commemorates 40 years since the Falklands conflict


BFBS Commemorates 40 years since the Falklands Conflict

On 2nd April 1982, the Falklands conflict began, and now, 40 years later BFBS will spend the next 74 days commemorating the event.

Through a dedicated Falklands 40 hub page on its website Forces.net, BFBS will be sharing a memorial wall – highlighting lives lost – as well as videos, stories, and podcasts to mark 40 years since the conflict.

The memorial wall includes pictures, names, and ranks of the 255 British military who perished in the Falklands conflict. Over the next few months BFBS is inviting its audience to share any further information they have on these individuals to be added to the wall, which will remain on Forces.net for the rest of the year.

The hub page will also feature personal video accounts from those who fought in the conflict, alongside coverage of the events happening this year to mark the 40th anniversary.

Stories such as Air Gunner Sergeant Bill Belcher, RM 3 Commando Brigade Air Squadron, shot down 28th May 1982. Bill’s squadron flew Scout helicopters crewed by a pilot and air gunner, tasked with flying ammunition forward and returning with casualties. A week after landing, the helicopters supported 2 Para as it assaulted Goose Green. Bill, in the rear of the helicopter, was hit by an Argentinian Pucara, losing both legs, while his pilot Lieutenant Richard Nunn was killed at the controls.
