It's actually a Sea Harrier FRS. 1, in the Falklands-era blue paintjob. Plus, his haircut just SCREAMS 1982.[:D]

I only have a few of these Famous Dogfight Info cards, so this will be a short evalution.
Falklands
May 1982
Sea Harrier FRS 1, From the HMS Invincible
Flight Lieutenant Paul Burton, RAF. On secondment to the Fleet Air Arm.(I think to me that would be TAD)
On 1 May, 1982 Burton and his wingman John Eyton Jones engaged 6 Argentine air craft in their zone out of 20 aircraft launched against the South Atlantic Task Force. It says Burton splashed two Mirage IIIs.
It is called the first British success in the Falklands

About 1989 or so, I enrolled in what was called The War Planes Collectors Club, Atlas Editions, Edito-Service S.A.
3 to 4 times the size of a baseball card.
They sent me monthly selection, went on for about 5 or 6 years, maybe longer, then it just stopped?
Had two large provided collectors boxes full and broken down by aircraft type & country, a few hundred.
Pre-WWI to at that time the present. They also provided some informational card like the one I just used.
