In the hangar at IWM Duxford. The aircraft was sent to the Falklands in May 1982 where it took part in the fighting. Pucarás were based at Port Stanley, Goose Green and Pebble Island. The type scored the only Argentine air-to-air victory by shooting down a Scout helicopter. After the surrender this Pucará was shipped to the UK. The aircraft is powered by a 978-hp Turbomeca Astazou XVIG turboprop driving a three-blade Hamilton Standard 23LF/1015-0 propeller. The FN 7.62 mm gun and HS-804 20 mm cannon ports can be seen along with the front wheel housing in the nose. The wheel track is 4.2 m.

This Javelin made the last ever flight of type when it was delivered to Duxford in January 1975, after service with the A&AEE at Boscombe Down where chase and calibration work had included trials as part of the SC.9, Concorde and MRCA programmes. It was orinaly built as an FAW.7 and served 5, 25 and 33 Sqdns before acquiring the high visibility paintwork with A&AEE. My shot here shows it taking off from Coltishall in 9173
