discussion Group build anyone - Falklands ?

[colin m]

Wiki has the date as the 2nd April to the 14th June. So we could use that or make it easy and say April 1st start and end 30th June.

Nice one Ian, I think rounded dates might help a few people out.

Early day yet, no one said that you have to get ten sign ups the first week after dropping the question.
Let it ride a bit and it's OKAY to push the thread once in a while.
Have seen a few good ideas dropped by the proposers just because it did not get the needed 10 participants right away.

Yes of course, no worries. Most of us are still busy with the festivities. I only mentioned it early in case there's a few, post Christmas ebay bargains that might fit the bill.

Nice Idea, I am sure ican think of a bust, perhaps colonel H jones VC?

Peter

That would be something to see. What a tribute to a man, who died in battle, leading from the front.

I've got a Rapier unit to contribute or Argentine LARC.Great idea to do a Falklands tribute for a group build.
Jon.

The Rapier sounds very interesting. I'm an aircraft person myself, but am trying to avoid the obvious route for me. Don't worry, I won't steal the Rapier idea.

I've got a Chinook, a Victor, a Sea Harrier and an A-4 Skyhawk to choose from, so I'll do one of them at least. Count me in Colin.

Completely your choice Joe, but I do like the sound of that Victor. I don't think we'll see many built.

Colin I’m in I had to go educate myself on the war I was only 13 years old

I was 14. I remember going outside to tell my dad, who was working on his old Vauxhall Viva, that they had bombed the Falklands. Meaning the Vulcan and friends had had a busy night.

Very interesting as I have a Pucara so waiting to be built. If that doesn't happen I still have the Skyhawk and Sea Harrier. No ships, submarines and ground forces in the stash to add in.

Cheers,
Richard

I like Harriers a lot. But as I already have one of these on the shelf, I might try something else.

Have known 4 folks who took part in this conflict, one was a submariner, the other 3 were paras.
But won't be participating.

Colin, I would like to join in please.

I put my name down to go out to The Falklands after the conflict, to help repair Port Stanley, the airport and other settlements. My wife put a stop to any further advancement to my idea........
