    She has the original two Foden diesel engines.. The LCVP was built by the Dorset Yacht Company at Poole in 1965. Powered by two Foden diesel engines, LCVPs Mk2s could carry 35 fully equipped Royal Marines Commandos or two Landrovers. In 1982 four LCVPs carried by assault ship HMS Fearless during the Falklands conflict. They took part in the initial landings at San Carlos on 21st May, taking Royal Marines of 40 Commando and men of the Parachute Regiment to the beaches. On 24th May they helped evacuate the crew of HMS Antelope when an unexploded bomb detonated and the ship caught fire. The Royal Marines Coxswain, Corporal Alan White, received a commendation from the Task Force Commander, Admiral Sir John Fieldhouse, for his part in rescuing 41 crew from the Antelope. F7 continued to ferry men and supplies throughout the Falklands conflict and was also employed on mine clearance duties.

    Yea Tony I saw that and the price he was looking for was a boat that's not even in the water; seemed that I should probably be looking round that figure or more considering it lacks props. Any other ideas be greatly appreciated. I think will probably post an ad here as well. Thx Will

    Yea was doing some work on some of the islands off the west coast of Ireland; restoring some buildings up; so was perfect for transporting materials and machinery. Now all the work is done no longer need it now so its served its purpose.

    Hi I'm Will from Down in N.Ireland; I just came across these brilliant forums and am looking on some help on selling a piece of movie history; a few years ago I bought the landing craft(lcvp mk2) which was used for the filming of Saving Private Ryan (PA30-11) ; and later found out that this craft had actually been serving actively in the Falklands War as well. Ball park figure was looking 20-30 gs. Unfortunately I'm now finished with it as it served me well for moving cargo and machinery and I'm now looking for an avid collector or buyer as its time for it to find a new home. If anybody is interested in this gem; i'll post some pics.
