'Falklands War. A portfolio of 23 original Admiralty charts of the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, the South Sandwich islands and the adjacent South American used on board HMS Glamorgan during the Falklands conflict in 1982 by Navigating Officer Ian Inskip. The maps are variously dated, most were published upon the outbreak of the conflict in 1982 or shortly before. The maps continued to be used after the conflict, and some have later small corrections to 1984. Several have manual annotations.'

A portfolio of 23 original Admiralty sea charts used on board HMS Glamorgan during the 1982 Falklands War by Navigating Officer Ian Inskip. Commander Inskip was at the helm of the Glamorgan when it came under attack from an Argentine Exocet missile. He ordered a high speed turn away from the missile, which prevented it hitting the side of ship perpendicularly and penetrating the hull, instead resulting in a glancing blow. Although 14 crew members were killed in the strike, the damage caused was relatively minor and Glamorgan is the only ship to have survived an Exocet strike. Cdr Inskip later wrote a book entitled "Ordeal by Exocet". His oral history of the war, whcih refers to these maps, is online at https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/80013235 .
