If I could get some help on reference materials for british tanks, aircraft, and helicopters used during the Falklands Conflict that would be great.

Rexford:

OSPREY books from the U.K. published a three part series of books specifically on the Falklands check with your local hobby shop or go to OSPREY's website and look them up.

You can also order them through AMAZON books online. I have these in my reference library and they are really great books with lots of photos and colour plates as well.

Additionally check your local library for issues of TIME magazine from the time period there were a number of issues that dealt with the crisis from start to finish with tons of photos as well. I have a few of these stashed away in the reference pile too. I picked mine up at a local flea market for a dime an issue.

If you need more information let me know.

Cheers;

Gregory

Rexford;

Osprey Publishing website link http://www.ospreypublishing.com I did not check to see if they had your specific reference available. Hopefully this will at least get you closer to the objective.
