Falcon Panther? What is this?

Old School Hero
I got this bike almost 6 years ago when I was still in school, I only rode it for a short while before deciding to restore it, after dismantling and a bit of sanding the project never really went anywhere. One major holdback is the decals. I have not removed the originals yet because I have never seen repro sets on eBay. They are not obvious in the pictures but they say Falcon in Black text and are surrounded by a Union Flag. Can anybody tell me a bit about these bikes? When they were made and where I might find decals? I know it was stupid to take her off the road as I remember her being a lot of fun, maybe even moreso than my Team Banana. I hope to put her back on the road again, the chrome and mechanical parts are all in good working order, it's just the paint that lets her down.





 
Originates from Brigg on the banks of the Number, the decals are available from H Lloyd in Penrith :). They are the same downtube decals as my mid 1970's Falcon.

Love the sensor on the front wheel :)

Thanks for suggesting H Lloyd, checked their website and downloaded the brochure and found the right decals. Thank you very much 8)

It is a cool sensor, it all came with the bike, except from the magnet that goes on the spoke, luckily I had a spare :)
 
I'm trying to locate some "Team Falcon" decals, and find out some info about this frame. H.Lloyd had some union flag decals but not the "Team" ones.
Can anyone help me?
