I'm not sure if this was staged, but I'd like to think not. There's a brutally romantic side of wartime, something I've not personally experienced and hopefully never will. Grainy footage of troopships in Southampton, returning from the Falklands after repelling Argentine invaders; pictures of VE day in Trafalgar Square; glamourous shots of victory that we've been spoilt with in the past. 

I'm not sure if it's the caveman in me that makes this picture appeal, and whether that's now outdated, but I still think it's cool.
