Never to the dark side Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Can you let the young guns know where this quote was from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Sure, Brian Hanrahan was a reporter on the Falklands Conflict in 1982: Hanrahan secured his place in broadcasting history with the words: ‘I counted them all out and I counted them all back.’ He used them to get round Ministry of Defence restrictions on the reporting of operations during the Falklands War in 1982. Hanrahan, who was on the aircraft carrier HMS Hermes, was barred from reporting how many of Britain’s Harrier jets were involved in a raid on Port Stanley, but he still managed to reassure audiences that they had completed the mission without loss. He told BBC viewers: ‘I am not allowed to say how many planes joined the raid, but I counted them all out and I counted them all back. Their pilots were unhurt, cheerful and jubilant, giving thumbs-up signs.’ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
