 Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Obituary: Captain Paul Bootherstone
Arrow was one of an eventual total of 10 escorts with the carrier task group formed to seize control - with alarmingly slender resources - of the 200-mile exclusion zone around the islands.
Arrow was also the first British ship to be hit by the daring Argentine pilots who, flying at the very limit of their range, constituted the main threat to the expedition.
HMS Arrow could easily have been damaged or even sunk by an ammunition explosion, but Bootherstone lifted 225 of the 266 survivors by skilful manoeuvring to enable them to jump the gap between the two bows; only 20 men were killed and 24 wounded.

HMS Glamorgan, Alacrity and Arrow closed the coast to within 12 miles to bombard Stanley airfield by grid square.
To make up this shortcoming the frigate HMS Arrow was tasked to provide NGFS - her single 4.5-inch gun being more than equal to the 3 missing 105mm guns.
This would not only provide additional firepower that would have been much appreciated by the otherwise grossly under-supported 2-Para, but also redundancy as actual experience was to show HMS Arrow's gun jammed at a critical point in the battle and she had to withdraw early.

The HMS Amazon, commissioned in 1973, was the class-leader of the Type 21 Anti-submarine frigate.
Among the unique features of the Type 21, of which eight were eventually built, was the extensive use of aluminum in the superstructure to reduce the ships weight and its gasoline driven engines.
The decal sheet comes with the hull numbers for three ships in this class: HMS Amazon (F169), HMS Active (F171) and HMS Arrow (F173) as well as the helipad markings (which are triplicated for some unknown reason).
