A-517 (cn 014) Damaged in a Sea Harrier attack, it was then used as a decoy for the rest of the war, being attacked several times more. Afterwards it was registered as G-BLRP (since cancelled) and supposedly shipped to the UK in a container. Does anybody know where the aircraft is today? |

XV*** Taken 6 hours down route from Ascension Island to Port Stanley on the airbridge to the Falkland Islands in operation at that time. 6 pax and cargo on this 13.5 hour flight. The tanker C130 had just refueled from a Victor Mk2 tanker prior to this hook up, taken by me from behind the aircraft captains seat. |

A-532 (cn 032) A-514 is also dumped at the end of the runway. A-532 was later taken to a weapons range for use as a target. A-514 lingered around for another couple of years before being dumped into a pit as part of a clear up before the airport was handed back to the local government. Between the two aircraft is another famous Falkland wreck "The Lady Elizabeth" where the SAS hid out during the war and reported back on all sea and aircraft movements. |
