Xtended

We welcome Rowland White back on to the show to talk about his latest book ‘Harrier 809 – Britain’s Legendary Jump Jet and the Untold Story of the Falklands War’.

We learn of untold events unearthed when the UK government opened its secret files for the war, including the development of support products and weapons and the role of Chile in the air war.
