Sir John Nott, Falklands War Defence Secretary, Dies at 92

Nott, known for his role in the 1982 conflict and a memorable TV interview walkout, passed away after a distinguished career.

Nott served as the UK's Defence Secretary during the Falklands War, a key period in his political career.
He twice offered to resign amid the conflict, but Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher refused to accept his resignation.
A notable moment in Nott's career was his walkout from a BBC interview with Sir Robin Day over defense spending questions.
His decision to withdraw the ice patrol ship Endurance was later criticized as a signal of reduced British commitment to the Falklands.
After leaving politics, Nott focused on his farm in Cornwall and wrote books, including memoirs reflecting his sharp wit and diverse interests.
