1 May 1982 "The Day of the Sea Harrier". Flight deck operations on board HMS Hermes. A Sea Harrier takes off from the ski-jump while various missiles, helicopters and vehicles crowd the flight deck of the carrier. The arms front to back include: 1000lb GP bombs with type 114 'Slick' tails, 1000lb GP Bombs with Type 117 parachute 'retarded' tails, Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and Sea Skua air-to-surface missiles.

BOMBARDMENT

The RAF opened proceedings with the legendary long-range raid by a Vulcan bomber which dropped a stick of bombs across the runway at Stanley's airport.

But Saturday May 1st was really the day of the Sea Harrier.

From first light to last, the jets hounded ground and air defences around the Falklands capital.

With the Harrier lethality supported by the guns. of HMS Glamorgan, Alacrity and Arrow - 'The Three Musketeers' which joined in the bombardment, the Argentine forces were firmly on the backfoot.

AVOIDANCE

There was a response from the Fuerza Aerea Argentina, as it sent Daggers - Israeli-built copies of French Mirages aloft, alongside Mirages and veteran A4 Skyhawks - bought second-hand from the USA.

The first dogfight proved inconclusive though, with the Argentines attempting to avoid battle.

By Saturday afternoon, however, Sea Harriers had accounted for four enemy aircraft: two Mirages, an ageing Canberra bomber and one Dagger.

FOX TWO AWAY

Flight Lieutenant Paul Barton - one of several RAF men flying with 801 Naval Air Squadron - was the first to score a hit with a Sidewinder air-to-air missile. With "Fox two away" crackling over the airwaves, squadron CO Lieutenant Commander Nigel Sharkey' Ward watched on:"The missile thundered off the rails like an express train and left a brilliant white smoke trail as it curved up towards the heavens, chasing after the Mirage, which was now making for the stars. "As the Sidewinder made intercept, the Argentine jet exploded, disintegrated and twisted its way. down to the cloud and sea below."

ALL OUT, ALL BACK

Back aboard HMS Invincible that evening, Ward told the carrier's commanding officer, Captain JJ'

Black:"I believe we have given them a good lesson today."

The first raids had been followed by the media aboard HMS Hermes too-acting under wartime censorship guidelines, giving the Falklands war its most famous soundbite, courtesy of the BBC's Brian Hanrahan: "I'm not allowed to say how many planes joined the raid, but counted them all out and I counted them all back."

Sweden:
Sverige-class coastal defence ship HSwMS Sverige in 1937. Commissioned during the last year of World War I and serving into the 1950s. Her cost was approximately 12 million kronor in 1912, and the entire sum was raised in public in a nationwide fundraising campaign that gained over 15 million (approximately 650 MKr, in 2005 Kr). The fundraising was done because of the Karl Staaff government's reluctance to spend money on a new battleship.

The ship off her starboard quarter is HSwMS Drottning Victoria, a half sister, ordered in 1915 and completed in 1921, built by Götaverken Gothenborg. She had an improved design, with an icebreaking bow and different machinery.

France:
Anti-aircraft cruiser De Grasse (C-610)

The De Grasse was designed in the late 1930s, as the lead ship of a series of three cruisers a little heavier than the preceding La Galissonnière class cruisers, notably with an improved anti-aircraft equipment. After the war the hull was eventually launched in 1946. The construction was halted again between 1946 and 1951, when she was towed to the Brest Navy yard to be completed, to a significantly modified design as an anti-aircraft cruiser.
Commissioned: September 10, 1956. Placed in reserve in 1972
