The Falklands Guns: The Story of the Captured Argentine Artillery that Became Part of the RAF Regiment – Michael Fonfé Pound sign

Book cover I knew there was captured kit after the Falklands War – some of it turns up in UK museums (like the Pucara at Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum) – but I didn’t know about these Argentinian Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns. It sounds like an interesting story told from both the perspective of the Argentinian gunners who operated them, and the RAF officer who then incorporated them into the RAF Regiment for airfield defence.
