 Sandy Woodward RIP - Manatee
Rear Admiral Sir Sandy Woodward, who led the naval task force to the Falklands, has died.

No good setting off to Gib to sort the Spaniels out - according to Sir Sandy, without aircraft carriers or the Americans, Britain could never have retaken the Falklands.

He came across as a sensible sort of chap - if a little scruffy .

Top Man. He also made his feelings well known about the demise of the carriers and the Sea Harrier. We'll not see his like again in our lifetimes.
