tc2324 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 On Friday 21st May, a A-4Q Skyhawk of CANA 3 Esc flown by Lt Cmdr Philippi was shot down near Swan Island in Falkland Sound at approx 3.12 pm by Lt Morell RN in No.800 Sea Harrier XZ457 using a Sidewinder. The A-4`s had just completed an attack run when they became aware of a pair of Sea Harriers attacking from behind. The Argentine`s jettisoned their fuel tanks and bomb racks, increased their airspeed and got as low as they could in an effort to escape. Lt Cmdr Philippi A-4 was hit and he ejected safely. 49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich G Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I always like a diorama and I really like Falklands related subject matter, so this is a win in my book! Really great work, it looks great, well done. Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That`s been mentioned a few times on other forums and the simple answer is I haven`t got a big enough lens to do the photo`s if I scaled it all up correctly.....
