Prince Andrew's Falklands Gloves at Auction

0:00On April 25, Prince Andrews flying gloves from the Falklands War are hitting the auction block for up to 2,000 pounds. These leather gloves, worn during his helicopter missions in 1982, capture a high point in his royal career when he served on HMS, Invincible. He donated them that same year to a charity auction for the Falklands appeal and South Atlantic fund. Andrew flew seeking helicopters, handling anti-summarine runs, missile decoys, and casualty evacuations as part of a 20 naval air squadron. Back then, he was hailed as an excellent pilot and promising officer, riding a wave of public popularity after the conflict with Argentina. Folks saw him as a war hero straight out of the Navy playbook. Now, the sign gloves complete with a note from his Aquary apologizing for missing the event go under the hammer on June 9th at Reemondanzi Inn, Colchester. Their worn and dirty from real operations, a reminder of his glory days before the scandals

1:00hit. Auctioneers noted it was unthinkable, he'd face such a fall, especially after his name got scrubbed from Falklands plaques last year when King Charles stripped his status. These relic stand is the last echo of that faded heroism.
