Vinyl Wallpaper

There are five walls within the exhibition space which are going to be covered with a vinyl wallpaper, designed to comprise different photos about the Falklands Conflict. The walls will then host reminiscence and information boards. The five wall areas are: Personnel, Families, Fort Austin (featuring a special exhibit), Map and Falkland Islands (the largest of the walls). Like the Harrier Plinth (detailed below), the vinyl wallpapers are applied in stages. The largest wall is over 5m long, the smallest just under 2m. All of them are 2.4m high. Below are some pictures of the team applying the vinyl.
