The flying gloves Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor wore during the Falklands War have gone on sale for £2,000.
The ex-prince hit the peak of his popularity after piloting a helicopter in the 1982 conflict.
He donated the leather gloves to a charity auction that year for the Falklands Appeal and South Atlantic Fund.
The signed gloves are being sold for an estimated £1,000 to £2,000 at Reeman Dansie auctioneers in Colchester, Essex.
They come with an apology from Andrew’s equerry explaining that he could not attend the charity auction as he would be with the Queen.
Andrew learned to fly Sea Kings and joined 820 Naval Air
