Description

Mog’s book, Hostile Skies, is available from Amazon. I highly recommend it. https://amzn.to/2yL0O6QIn March 1982, Argentinian forces landed on a set of tiny islands in the South Atlantic. These islands were known to the British as the Falklands, and to the Argentinians as Las Malvinas, and ownership over them remains contested to this day.Britain’s Prime Minister responded without equivocation, and dispatched a task force of ships, aircraft and combat forces with the objective of retaking the islands.Through the month of March, the task force sailed south. One of those onboard was Royal Air Force fighter pilot, Dave “Mog” Morgan, then on exchange with the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm, flying the Hawker Siddley Sea Harrier.Morgan would help lead the planning of the first combat mission undertaken by the Sea Harriers, and would end the war having shot down four Argentine aircraft.In this, the second of three interviews with Mog, he describes the Sea Harrier workup as they sailed down the Falkland Islands, and the eventual commencement of combat.Tune in for part 3 to listen to Mog describe his air-to-air kills and resultant post traumatic stress disorder.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=GDJU6CM3GWZTN)
