This is not a complete list of all vehicles operated by the company but only has those vehicles which I know<br />
about. Where a registration or fleet number appears twice the earliest vehicle can be assumed to have gone or<br />
been renumbered/reregistered. If the same VIN appears twice it is normally because the vehicle has been<br />
reregistered and should be shown again on the next line down. As always, any comments or additional<br />
information are always welcome.<br />
FALKLAND ISLANDS<br />
<strong>The</strong> Falkland Islands have not previously featured in the OJ. This section has been prepared by Duncan<br />
Bingham, who would welcome any additional information about vehicles in the Falklands to 67 Easthorpe,<br />
SOUTHWELL, Notts NG25 0HY or by e-mail (duncanbingham@zoom.co.uk). Past ‘Buses Worldwide’ articles by<br />
Gary French and Alan Osborne are gratefully acknowledged as is the help of Andy Williams of Falkland Islands<br />
Tours & Travel, Paul Bateson, David Corke and various <strong>PSV</strong> <strong>Circle</strong> members and officials.<br />
It is not believed that there were any full sized buses on the Falklands until after the 1982 conflict with Argentina.<br />
Initially, buses were used in relation to the construction of the RAF airfield at Mount Pleasant from 1983, but<br />
subsequently vehicles have been used on tours for cruise ship passengers or for airport transfers between the<br />
capital Stanley and Mount Pleasant. Tourism and fisheries have contributed to a strongly growing economy since<br />
the conflict.<br />
<strong>The</strong> registration system was formerly an F-prefix followed by up to four numbers. This system is still continued<br />
for official (e.g. police) vehicles but from 1/7/86 the general system uses an F-prefix and then up to three digits<br />
followed by a letter (e.g. F999D, followed by F1E). FxxxF has been omitted. From 1983, UK registration plates<br />
were initially retained on vehicles used by contractors building the RAF airfield, but vehicles were later licensed<br />
with Falklands-issued plates, some of which were initially the same as the fleetnumbers carried by the vehicles.<br />
