EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant transparency captures the image of a Rapier missile system deployed at San Carlos, Falkland Islands during the South Atlantic Conflict of 1982. The Rapier, a British-designed surface-to-air missile system, played a crucial role in the defense of the British forces during the war. In this photograph, taken by Lt Col David Dunn, Press Officer with 5th Infantry Brigade, the Rapier's distinctive red and white stripes stand out against the rugged terrain of the island. The system, which was transported to the Falklands aboard the RFA Sir Galahad, was instrumental in providing air defense coverage for the British forces during the critical early stages of the conflict. The San Carlos Waterfront, where the Rapier was stationed, served as the main base for the British forces during their amphibious landing on the islands. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the military operations that took place during the Falklands War, providing a visual record of the Rapier's deployment and its contribution to the defense of the British territory.
