    40th anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands

    Today, 14th June, is the anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands 40 years ago by British forces after invasion by Argentinian forces ten weeks previously.
    255 British service personnel and 3 civilians paid the ultimate price for defending the islanders right to self determination and reinstall the government they desired.
    His weekend I will be in Aldershot for a commemoration and service of thanksgiving to remember them all, and visit my dads memorial plaque on the Longdon bench in the military cemetery.
    Utrinque Paratus.
    On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
    Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
    Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.
