The Listening Project

Available for over a year

Laurie was an 18-year-old sailor on board HMS Antrim in 1982 during the Falklands War. The ship was hit by a massive Argentinian bomb in the notorious "Bomb Alley". Laurie tells his father-in-law Brian about the 12 terrifying hours they spent with the bomb on board, not knowing if it would detonate at any moment.
