Anti collision, (Grimes), beacon and a stopwatch from an Omani Strikemaster, after it was withdrawn from service and put on a stick. Still got the minefield situation map issued on the 7th Dec 83, the day I arrived at Stanley. A set of 4 maps of the Falklands that were being dumped after the Herc det moved out of their tented area to their new portakabin at the tower, (loads of them there, wish I'd kept a few more now), and of course the obligatory Argie helmet. A lovely Sleeping bag I got from the Falklands det, and handed back a grubby gratis one that I got on Ascension months earlier.

Somewhere in the loft I also have the sheared refuelling probe from XM597, recovered from the K2 drogue following the Black Buck 6 Brazil diversion.

I have sent you a PM regarding the sheared refuelling probe.

Ken, we are assured 'not in UK'. The top is missing, the centre has a hole and there is an impact compression bulge around it. Similar size to an Aden ball but much heavier. Not the heaviest piece of metal at that size.
