The Hawker Sea Harrier earned its fearsome reputation in the icy skies above the South Atlantic. During the Falklands War of 1982, a handful of these remarkable aircraft defended the entire British task force, shooting down over twenty Argentine jets without a single loss in air-to-air combat. Operating from the decks of HMS Invincible and HMS Hermes in some of the harshest conditions imaginable, the Sea Harrier proved that vertical take-off was no gimmick — it was a game changer.
This silver-plated commemorative celebrates the Sea Harrier in exceptional detail. Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard with a proof-like finish, this 32mm piece is plated in .999 fine silver and weighs 10.5 grams — a proud tribute to the Falklands hero that rewrote naval aviation.
A prized addition to any Wings of Britain collection — do not let this one slip through the net.
