FALKLANDS
MIL007 - Edition 1,500
Falklands
It was on April
2nd 1982 that Argentina invaded the Falkland Isles overwhelming the
single company of Royal Marines guarding the islands capital. Only
three days later The Royal Navy Task Force set sail including
frigates, destroyers, troop carriers, landing ships and supply
vessels. On June 14th the white flag was flying over Port Stanley
and British forces took back control of the islands. During this two
month period many British lives were lost and this model is
dedicated to our forces who twenty years ago fought for their
country and gave their lives.
This is the 4th year that Oxford Diecast has teamed up with the
Royal British Legion to raise funds. It is the UK’s leading charity
safeguarding the welfare, interests and memory of those who served
in the Armed Forces and their dependants. It provides financial,
social and emotional support to millions and its benevolence spans
all age groups from the oldest to the very young.
