By 1982 the country was already in the midst of a devastating economic crisis and large - scale civil unrest against the repressive government and Anaya , now a member of the ruling Junta , ordered Operation Rosario to be brought forward to 2 April , after a group of Argentina military infiltrated a group of Argentine scrap metal merchants and raised the Argentine flag at South Georgia 19 March . General Galtieri , acting president , agreed in his intention to mount a quick , symbolic occupation , followed rapidly by a withdrawal , leaving only a small garrison to support the new military governor and force the UK to begin talks on the long - delayed sovereignty claim . On 2 April an amphibious landing was made at Stanley and on 3 April Argentine marines used helicopters to take over the Georgias .

On the other hand , the Royal Navy was in middle of great cutbacks that would have eliminated its force of aircraft carriers and amphibious forces in the coming months .

By the age of 12 , when his father died , Johnstone was an accomplished mariner and his familiarity with the English Channel and the coastal waters from Cornwall to Suffolk made him a much sought - after maritime pilot .
