Wanted! Memories!

Falkland’s 30 - War Patrols

Submariners remember their experiences

in the Falklands War.

A new exhibition at the RN Submarine Museum for 2012 – Were you there??

The exhibition, Falkland’s 30  - War Patrols is planned to open in the Spring 2012 and will comprise ten personal recollections from a variety of submariners who served on the five British submarines sent to the South Atlantic to support the Royal Navy Task Force in 1982. Organisers from the Royal Navy Submarine Museum in Gosport, Hampshire would like to hear from as many submariners as possible about their key memories of the war patrols carried during the conflict.

The aim of the exhibition is to explore from a personal perspective the experiences of the submariners who participated in the last major naval war of the 20^th Century. The Museum states that they are not looking for lengthy testaments but key memories that centre on the following:

  

      Is there a single memory that captures why these patrols were different?

v        What were the highs and lows?

v       Were there moments of great excitement, real fear and laughter?

The Museum would also like to see any objects, photographs and other souvenirs from the Falkland’s Conflict for possible  use in the exhibition.
