Telford Boy on Falklands Mission

Back in 1982 the Falklands Conflict came as quite a shock to most residents who were around at the time. Probably none more so than Carl Franks from Telford who has popped up in this BBC newsclip.

At just 16 years of age, and sailing ‘down South’ he must have been the youngest serviceman, or at least one of them.

Anyone know if Carl is still in Telford?
