A Scots Falklands War veteran has recalled the terrifying moment his gun jammed when fighter jets bombarded him amid fierce conflict, as the war approaches its 40th anniversary next month.
Norman McDade, or Mac, as he prefers to be named, signed up to the Navy in 1978 aged 17 and trained as a chef.
Little did he know that, four years later, he would be armed with a gun and embroiled in a war in the South Atlantic ocean that claimed the lives of more than 900 men.
