Summary: Joe Booth lived in Port Stanley and purchased an 8mm cine camera around the early 1980s. When the islands were invaded, he filmed a few minutes' worth of footage of the Argentine occupation, covertly from his lounge, having spotted Argentine troop movements near his home. He describes in vivid detail the occupation of Port Stanley, and remembers using the short wave radio system, where he heard the news of the loss of RFA Sir Galahad and listened to emergency British military communications appealing for assistance to pick up the wounded from Fox Bay. (Slate 638 outdoor interview with general view of his house and around Port Stanley, Slate 639 interview continues inside his house with his short wave radio beside him.)
