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? |

AE-521 (cn B-798/CG-102) During the Falklands war it was caught on the ground by a Harrier and damaged by cannon fire. It was later finished off by a cluster bomb from another Harrier. The wreckage is still extant in 2002 as it was seen on a documentary commemorating the 20th anniversary of the war. Close by is also SA330L Puma AE-501 which suffered the same fate. Both aircraft belonged to Batallon de Aviacion de Combate 601. |

PA474 / QR-M The aircraft nightstopped on its way to an airshow in Northern Ireland. It did a circuit and flyby after takeoff, much to the delight of all the assembled photogs and families with children. This would have been a common sight and sound 60 years ago as Prestwick was the eastern end of the delivery route for Canadian built Lancasters. |

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. |
