Falklands Conflict 1982

An RFA Merchant Seaman's Story . 


The RFA have supplied our Royal Navy (and allies) for over a century - they carry everything from ammunition to troops - oil to foodstuff and become RN Reserve in the theatre of war. They assist in anti drug running and preventing piracy. The RFA is manned by highly trained, professional, civilian crews committed to the defence of this country - prepared to take up arms to do so. Given the Queen's Colours in 2008 for their tremendous yet often unnoticed achievements, we should not forget many RFA members have died in the defence of the UK.  They are the very backbone to the RN - without the RFA they would go nowhere!
