I was in RFA Grey Rover in Gibraltar April 82. A big Naval exercise had been completed (Springtrain I think) and Gib was full of warships. Redundancy signals were coming in over the broadcast and around the same time the I9F signals were appearing too. I9F was the indicator code for Falkland Island ops. Many of the ships left and headed South, we refuelled a few and headed North for refit.
The warning signs were there and should have been heeded swifter. The rest is history.
