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.
