Malvinas War/ Guerra de Malvinas

[Griffiths911]

Fransisco,

One of the pilots was Lieutenant Commander G.W. J. Batt ('Gordy') flying Sea Harrier (XZ459). He was Killed In Action on the 23rd May 1982.

I am looking into finding the other pilots and aircraft you refer to.

I wish you good health friend.

Ken.

This is one of the Sea Harriers that attacked you. Now resting in a field.

The other pilot who did the attack was Lt Andy McHarg in this airplane:

Good news

I have just received an email from Jorge Carrega, former commanding officer PNA Islas Malvinas. He has just received the items of uniform that I sent to Argentina almost a month ago. I am full of joy and very strong emotion at this time.

Dear friends,

today I am a very proud dad indeed.

Here is a picture I took of Heather having just received her Bachelor of Science with Honours degree at Glasgow University yesterday.

What a day.

Regards.

Ken.

Congrats!!!!

 

[cosmiccomet74]

I would like to join the others in the congratulations.

I would like also to mention that you have a beautiful daughter.

 

[Juanma]

Congratulations.
But I don't think is a good idea to show a picture of your daughter.
There are to many excited lads around here jejeje.

Seriously, pretty and inteligent, well donde.
Don't tell me it's all Mrs Griffiths work.

------------------------------------

Felicitaciones.
Aunque no creo que es una buena idea poner una foto de tu hija.
Hay demasiados muchachos excitados por aca.

En serio, linda e inteligente, buen trabajo.
No me digas que lo hizo todo la señora Griffiths

 

[Griffiths911]

Thank you

Thank you for your very kind words.

Ken,
I just read your post with the info about the attack to M/V Río Carcarañá. Thanks a lot.
I have a very strong feeling with that picture.
You are really a gentleman and you'll be always welcome here.

Congratulations about your beautiful and smart daughter. Well done, Ken. I'm very happy that you enjoyed that day with your family.

Best regards for you and your family.
