Canberra and HMS Argonaut by Ivan Berryman.
The P & O cruise liner Canberra lies in San Carlos Water, Falkland Islands, in May 1982, looking very weather-beaten after her punishing journey south during the conflict with Argentina, whilst HMS Argonaut keeps a watching vigil by her side. Both Argonaut and Canberra repeatedly came under air attack in San Carlos Water during the disembarkation of 42 Commando, both surviving the encounters, unlike the unfortunate HMS Ardent which was hit and sunk.

Is the Mountain Clear. G Squadron 22 SAS, Mount Kent, Falklands War 1982 by Graeme Lothian.
On the night of 27th May, a four man patrol from G Squadron boat troop were tasked to patrol to the summit of Mount Kent to see if it was clear. (Mount Kent was an important strategic height as it looked across to Mount Longdon, Two Sisters and Goat Ridge) A Battalion of 12th regiment Argentinean Infantry were expected to be engaged by the patrol but found the Argentineans had been airlifted the previous night to reinforce the garrison at Goose Green for the subsequent 2 Para attack. From the summit of Mount Kent, the unit could see hundreds of Argentinean soldiers with Artillery and helicopters. The relief and tension of this mission shows on their faces as they descend down to their hide position after their all night patrol. The patrol commander, a Sergeant Major and veteran of many conflicts including the Oman War, won a mention in dispatches in this conflict.

Falklands Casevac, Ajax Bay, 28th May 1982 by David Shepherd.
During the fierce fighting on 28/29 May 1982 in the battle for Goose Green, the first major land battle of the Falklands campaign, a detachment of Scout helicopters from 656 Squadron Army Air Corps operated in support of 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment. Their main task was flying ammunition to the forward companies and evacuating thirty two seriously wounded soldiers to the Field Surgical Team established in the disused refrigeration plant at Ajax Bay. Flying operations continued throughout the night in appalling weather and irrespective of bombing attacks by Argentinean aircraft on the Fleet in San Carlos Water. This painting depicts a near-miss from a mirage fighter bomber on the Royal Fleet Auxiliary Stromness and the Europic Ferry. Captain J G Greenhalgh, Scout detachment commander and pilot of XT649 was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his gallantry during this battle. The painting shows him in his aircraft with his aircrewman Cpl J F Gammon, alongside. During the campaign over 400 casualties were swiftly evacuated by helicopters of 3 Commando Brigade Air Squadron Royal Marines and 656 Squadron Army Air Corps and all survived.
