He was, in fact, as a BBC Latin-American correspondent - the only BBC war journalist in the Falkland Islands at the time of the Argentinean conflict, and had much to tell about this episode in British history.

He has recently been back there, and found things much changed, and improved, since those dark days of 1982. The population has increased, as has its prosperity, largely due to the development of the fishing industry. Particularly, Mr Briley showed pictures of the memorial to those who fell in that conflict. There are, of course, other aspects of the Falklands apart from the war episode, and he showed pictures of the interesting wildlife of the area, among them, seals, and the wide variety of penguins living there.

Altogether this was an excellent talk to end this Session, which closes after the Annual General Meeting next Tuesday, and re-opens for the next Session in October – for which we shall give ample notice.
