The next playlist will be on the Falklands War. I use the Huey in MSFS to get a better understanding of how terrain and distances impacted historical events.
Tonight 13/14 June, it will be exactly 42 years since the 2nd Battalion Scots Guards fought bravely through the night to take Tumbledown mountain in the final battle of the Falklands war.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM π«‘π¬π§
