Tim Isaac Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi Andrew, I have a few items in the collection. I was a kid in the 80`s and love the kit of that era. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BumpCity Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thanks for the welcome guys. Is anyone going to Stoneleigh in January? I went last year and there were some good finds. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_bish Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 welcome on board A much neglected area in collecting I reckon. Would be good to see your pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumpCity Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 I agree Paul, it was a landmark in history and yet seems under appreciated in collecting terms. Anything in particular you'd like to see? I can try to fathom out the whole uploading images thing :-) regards. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BumpCity Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Well all of it... pending that mammoth task the iconic pieces Sure thing I will upload some of the better bits, once I have worked it out. I won't subject you to the full bombardment! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packhow75 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I have a few Falklands related rubbish... minefield map, argie helmet and a pair of radios... think that's the sum of it. May well have it on the stall at Stoneleigh for sale if I can find it as now focussing very much into the WW2 period. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanleyrf89 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi Andrew, I'm a fellow Falklands collector, all started aged 12 watching the Sea Harriers departing from Yeovilton to join the carriers, and then followed a few months later by friends dad's returning with war trophies. I agree with you, a conflict that was significant in the 20th century, and the last of its type (probably) with evenly equipped forces opposing one another in set piece battles, archive records show that it also caused a reappraisal by the Soviet Union of how NATO would react - up until 1982 they didn't think we would fight back! Good luck collecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
