Falklands War 40th Anniversary Commemorative Clothing Launched

Falklands 40 Sea Harrier FRS1 black and white Varsity Jacket snippet

Falklands War 40th Anniversary Commemorative Clothing Launched

Its hard to believe that 40 years ago the Falklands War started following the invasion of two small islands by Argentinian Forces.

I was 14 years old at the time and my first thought was how did the Argentinians get to a Scottish Island with no-one seeing them coming?

In reality, I think a large part of the British public had a geography lesson after reaching for their world atlas to see exactly where the Falkland Islands were!

Which Aircraft Are Part of the Falklands War 40th Anniversary Range?

The Falklands War brought out the best in British Military resolve, ingenuity, bravery and courage. 

To commemorate the bravery of the aircrews involved in the conflict, I have created a 40th Anniversary Commemorative design featuring 4 aircraft types that were involved –

  • Sea Harrier FRS1
  • Harrier GR3
  • Vulcan B2
  • Victor K2

The full design features an outline of the Falkland Islands with the number 40 in red (red being symbolic of 40th anniversaries). Below the islands is a side profile of your chosen aircraft.

Which Garments Are Part of the Falklands War 40th Anniversary Range?

The 40th Anniversary Commemorative design is available on all of our standard garment items plus a new style backpack –

How do I Personalise This Design?

All 4 of the new Falkland’s War aircraft have been added to the veterans personalised range. Via these products you can create a truly personalised garment to commemorate your veterans service.

Th Falklands War 40th Anniversary design is the latest in our commemorative clothing range. Other designs are available to commemorate –

My newsletter subscribers have been buying these new designs with an exclusive discount before they went live on the website.

Weathered and Flame Cut Effects

A weathered or flame cut effect is available for your data panels.

Around 60% of recent orders have featured one of these effects and they look great, so why not get your next data panel with one of these finishes?

Original loco flame cuts are usually prohibitively expensive, so these replica designs offer railway enthusiasts something similar for a fraction of the cost.

Each effect is created manually and is unique to that specific product. No two purchases will look the same!

Thanks for reading and feel free to comment on these new designs.

Big Loco Data Panel Update

Class 24 Later BR Green Data Panel Metal Sign

Big Loco Data Panel Update

I have undertaken a big update of the popular BR Tops Loco Data Panel designs.

Following requests and feedback from customers, I have reviewed the loco data panel designs. This review has seen the revision and updating of some designs, some new classes added and more liveries added.

The actual designs are tweaked to reflect actual photographic evidence of each loco and reflect individual details.

Data Panel Livery Revisions and Updates

The 1st batch of livery revisions focus on the BR Green colour schemes.

There are several versions of BR Green and they are applied differently to locos depending on their class.

BR Green

The BR green livery option now reflects the correct application of the livery on each class as shown in the products below.

BR Blue

The standard BR Blue diesel loco design is now joined by the AC Electric blue loco design and the Electric BR Blue with chrome numbers.

Depot Tweaks Added to Loco Data Panel Designs

Each depot had their own little unofficial tweaks which they applied to their locos in addition to the many varied official logos, plaques and motifs. I research these tweaks for each individual loco and apply them as appropriate for each order as shown below.

More Loco Classes Added

I have been adding more loco classes featuring the ‘less mainstream’ and unsuccessful British Rail early modernisation scheme.

Weathered and Flame Cut Effects Refined

Another refinement is the weathering and flame cut effects applied to the data panels. Each effect is uniquely created and applied to each data panel order. No two effects will be the same, even if you order 2 of the same weathered loco!

Nameplates as an Optional Extra

If a loco was fitted with a nameplate you can select to have your design incorporate the locos nameplate!

Steam Locos and Multiple Units 

If you are a fan of steam locos or multiple units, then we have plenty to offer you as well.

More Than Metal Signs 

These designs are available on our full range of gift products including –

GDMK Images January 2022 Update

U2 Black Heather Varsity Jacket snippet

GDMK Images January 2022 Update

Hi everyone I hope you have recovered from any Christmas and new year excesses.

Here is a quick update on where we are in respect of new designs, supply issues and potential shows.

First off let’s deal with supply issues and get that topic out of the way.

Mug supply has settled down and once again we are able to get regular deliveries of standard size mugs.

Unfortunately, supply of the larger mighty Mug has been extremely frustrating to the point that I have temporarily withdrawn them from sale. Once I can get regular quality supplies of the large mugs, I will reactivate the option in the web shop.

Wallets and mousemats seem to be becoming more readily available as well.as coasters, although coasters are still proving to be somewhat erratic in availability.

Now onto something a bit more positive – new products and designs!

New Polo Shirts Colours

Following many requests we have added Military Green and Kelly Green polo shirts to the range. The Military Green coloured polo is perfect for our Military Vehicle range and many of our aircraft embroidered designs.

Happy Christmas From GDMK Images

Happy Christmas Everyone

Unbelievably, thats almost another year done!

I would like to wish each and everyone of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Your support through another difficult year is hugely appreciated.

The last of your orders have been posted and its time to look forward to a welcome break.

Here’s hoping you also have some time off to enjoy the seasonal merriments with your loved ones.

Christmas and New Year Plans

We have a quiet Christmas planned.

The online shop will remain open and we will continue to post any orders placed before the 24th, although there is virtually no chance of them arriving before Christmas due to the huge pressure the Royal Mail are under.

Orders placed from the 24th December onwards will be processed when production resumes on Monday 10th January 2022 when we will launch our New Years sale!

Over the holiday period I will be doing some website maintenance and upgrades that I have been putting off for a while.

Christmas Competitions

I will be running a couple of competitions in the period between Christmas and New Year – one will be open to everyone and one will be for active subscribers only.

If you still haven’t subscribed to the newsletter then subscribe now and dont miss out on all the goodies subscribers get!

I will also be doing another reviewers prize draw, so if you have made a purchase and not left a review then get to it – the last reviewers draw saw the winner get a sweatshirt with their chosen design embroidered on it!

New Designs

During the break I will also be adding more new embroidered designs.

The demand for new aircraft types and alternate squadron markings, particularly personalised tribute designs, has been huge and I feel extremely privileged to be able to help so many families commemorate their loved ones service.

These new aircraft types and squadron markings are available as options of the standard Classic Military Aircraft designs (albeit with different aircraft code identities to maintain the exclusivity of the design for the personalised order customers).

12 Sqn Lancaster

Personalised Railway Designs

I have also produced a large number of personalised railway designs including those below.

[ux_stack] [ux_image_box img=”77066″ image_width=”96″]

Class 55 D9009

[/ux_image_box] [ux_image_box img=”76725″]

Class 37 37250

[/ux_image_box] [/ux_stack]

New Standard Railway Designs

I haven’t been neglecting the railway side of things and have a number of new loco classes that will be appearing during the break.

The new embroidered railway designs will include –

  • Class 08
  • Class 20
  • Class 25
  • Class 31
  • Class 33
[ux_stack] [ux_image_box img=”77243″]

Class 31

Class 31 will be added in 4 colour schemes

[/ux_image_box] [ux_image_box img=”77227″ image_width=”83″]

Class 33

Class 33/0 and 33/1 designs in BR Blue and BR Green are ready for adding to the online shop

[/ux_image_box] [/ux_stack]

Happy Christmas

All that remains is for me to wish you all a fabulous Christmas and New Year. I will post some of our 2021 highlights on social media over the break. Please feel free to share any of your pics of us at shows or of bits and pieces you have purchased in the last year! 

Stay safe everyone and have a great Christmas!!

Gary & Dawn
