Remembering the Falklands

Some 25 years ago, Royal Air Force jets bombed the runway at Port Stanley marking the start of the British assault on the Argentine-occupied Falkland Islands.

The following day the warship General Belgrano was sunk killing 23 people but more ex-soldiers on both sides killed themselves since the war than died in action, prompting one man to ask whether more unites the British and Argentine veterans than divides.

Alex Macdonald went to meet one of the one time-enemies to see whether the past continues to haunt them as it does him.
