Cape Pembroke Lighthouse

51º South : Charlie the Lightkeeper [Falkland Islands]

No.5 Charlie the Lightkeeper
Sharp, and charmingly mischievous, Charlie MacKenzie was keeper at Cape Pembroke Lighthouse isolated on the easternmost point of the Falkland archipelago. Revisiting the site, the white bearded, coverall clad Charlie vividly recalls passing time with HAM Radio, hiding contraband and eventually the day they came when he found himself at the apex of an invasion. Today, both the beacon and its keeper are in their own rights, true landmarks of these islands.
Cape Pembroke Lighthouse, standing at 56ft tall was built in 1855 and rebuilt in 1906. The light operated continuously up until the invasion of 1982 when it was put out of operation and subsequently fell into years of disrepair, mostly at the hands of vandals . The lighthouse was officially restored in 1990 and is now a historical listed building.

Parkrun is a global phenomenon that has seen more than 2 million people across 20 different countries take part in weekly 5km runs in their local area.

FITV decided to brave the cold and windy weather to see how the ‘parkrunners’ got on.

A shipboard brawl leads to murderous threats between Captain Kendrick and his junior officer, 19 year-old Robert Haswell. Demoted and kicked out of his cabin, the former Revolutionary War Loyalist licks his wounds and bides his time until his last chance to leave the Columbia Expedition at the Falkland Islands. The crew of Hit and Run History recounts these dramatic events while traversing the bitter, raw and windswept dunes leading to the Cape Pembroke Lighthouse in on East Falkland Island.

STORYLINE
Falkland Islanders on Friday marked the 31st anniversary of the end of the war with Argentina.
Residents followed a military parade to Liberation Monument, in Port Stanley, where a special service was held to remember Britain's liberation of the South Atlantic archipelago from Argentine occupation on 14 June 1982.
Liberation day means to us the peace, the freedom that you see around you now and a day to remember those who made huge sacrifices to make that possible, said Jan Cheek, a member of the Falkland Islands' Legislative Assembly.
It's become our national day. It's a day of huge importance.
The cluster of islands, 8-thousand miles (12-thousand kilometres) from Britain, was home to 1,800 people in 1982, when Argentina attempted to take sovereignty of the islands.
They had been under British rule for 150 years.
A 74-day war left 649 Argentine soldiers dead, along with 255 British military personnel and three residents.
On Friday, the Islands' British Governor, Nigel Haywood, laid a wreath at the base of the Liberation Monument.
British veterans paid tribute to their fellow soldiers who lost their lives in the short but bloody war.
Gary Clement, who was a member of the 45 commando of the British Royal Marines during the war, said the anniversary was a moment for reflection.
The significance really is lots of things. It's the freedom of the Islands, it's memory of lost friends. It's just something that seems to gather more and more each year as I go on. It gets more and more to the heart, he said.
Brian Aldridge, who lived through the war added: Liberation to us you know is just so important because we certainly didn't want to live under the dictatorship we were under for 74 days in 1982, so yeah, really, really important.
Argentina, which calls the Falklands Las Malvinas, is continuing to call for talks with Britain over sovereignty, but Prime Minister David Cameron's coalition government has said that residents alone must determine their future.

Argentina ready to ramp up claim to Falkland Islands ‘Fight to defend!’ - News 247

For any copyright, please send me a message.  Malvinas, Antarctica and South Atlantic secretary Daniel Filmus expressed his anger that Argentina’s quest for the Falklands diminished before adding more aggression was needed from Argentina to win the land from the UK. He told a conference given at the headquarters of the Federation of University Teachers (FADUN) that the intensity of the claim for sovereignty decreased greatly”. He then said Argentina “needs a very active presence to claim the start of negotiations” with the UK over the sovereignty of the archipelago. He added: “We believe that the Malvinas issue should be a mandatory issue in all disciplines. “It is linked to foreign policy, but also to legal issues, fishing, energy, and a whole set of aspects that our universities must consider.” He said that “the fight to defend natural resources such as hydrocarbons, fisheries, biodiversity and mining was put aside”. He added: “A good part of our university graduates must leave not only with knowledge of the Antarctic and the Argentine sovereignty over the Falklands, but we must also generate new knowledge on all these issues.” The war over the Falkland Islands took place in 1982. Up to 255 British servicemen were killed and 650 Argentine soldiers. Argentine forces invaded the Falklands – known in Spanish as Islas Malvinas – and so Margaret Thatcher led British military to defend the British Overseas Territory. Britain won, but tensions have remained over the Islands’s sovereignty ever since.  Commentators fear the newly elected President, Alberto Fernandez, and his Vice-President, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (a former President herself), will act on their electoral promise to renew claims over the islands. However, a deal was once almost struck between the UK and Argentina to share the archipelago according to an unearthed article. Writing in The Telegraph in March 2012, Barney Henderson revealed: “The deal was accepted in 1974 by President Juan Domingo Peron with ‘euphoria’ but was never conclude because he died three weeks after the offer was made.” Mr Peron was the founder of the Peronism movement, which both Mr Fernandez and Ms Fernandez de Kirchner are keen followers of.  Trending  The document itself was seen by the Argentina newspaper La Nacion, and was a “non-official document” from the British Foreign Office, relied in an attempt to settle the dispute. The document explained: “The British and Argentine flags would fly side by side and the official languages would be English and Spanish. All ‘belongers’ of the island would possess dual nationality. “Before final agreement, the Islands would have to be formally consulted and their acceptance sought by some form of popular representation. “On this
