Falklands: Veteran recalls sinking of HMS Coventry 40 years on
Forty years ago, HMS Coventry was attacked by Argentinian jets during the Falklands conflict.
As a result, 19 died – with enemy jets also striking SS Atlantic Conveyor on the same day.
Chris Howe was a 25-year-old Petty Officer on HMS Coventry and was badly burned in the attack.
He spoke to Forces News about that traumatic day aboard the Royal Navy destroyer.
