Falklands War: 40th anniversary of first combat death

Steve Harris

Available for over a year

Nick Taylor was shot down by anti-aircraft fire, over the Falkland Island settlement of Goose Green. Nick’s brother, who now lives in Southampton, has just returned from the 40th memorial service, an annual service, held by the locals there to remember his brother. And it’s from that remote farming settlement on the Falklands that our reporter Ollie Peart sent this report – about how a close family friendship was born out of the tragedy.
