Falklands

I have a recording of tannoy announcements made on board 'Canberra' during the Falklands conflict. Does anyone know if this is of any value or use to anyone?

I'd think any Marttime Museum would love that.

The 25th Anniversary of the Falklands Conflict will be next year so I'm sure they'll be a high demand for anything like this.

Read the bottom of the page from this link as it has some links and also that the MOD are going to announce more events to go on next year.

As a lawyer specialising in copyright law i have to warn you that any recordings you may have from a Royal Navy announcment would be owned by the Navy. That applies to the recording only, not the hardware it is recorded on.
Although i have limited experience with the armed forces, i do know that they can be extremely heavy handed when their is an infringment of their copyright status.
Be careful.

This wouldn't be a Royal Navy announcement though as Canberra was a merchant ship.

As all aboard were under the command of the Armed services and on active service it could be subject to the official secrets act!
