Churchill had concerns over Falklands invasion three decades before 1982 conflict

Churchill, whose concerns over Argentine designs for the Falklands and other British South Atlantic territories had already caused him to deploy a Royal Navy frigate, HMS Snipe, had previously dealt with an invasion that year. An Argentinian naval tug, the Chiriguano, had established a hut, tent and flag on Deception Island, part of the Antarctic South Shetland Islands. More than 30 crack Royal Marines were deployed but were met with no resistance. The PM ordered the Chiefs of Staff to prepare a report on the risks of the helicopter sales. Their report, dated November 27, found that the threat to British territories in the area would not be substantially increased by Argentina s acquisition.
