Purchased by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1949 for Antarctic operations. Shipped to Falklands in 1950 and thence operated by Falkland Islands Government Air Service until 1953. Airframe was used for naval target practice. The engine lay on the beach not far from the Beaver hangar. Now moved to the museum, I believe. The floats were sold to Saunders Island on West Falklands and used to make a barge.

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).

Damaged by a Sea Harrier attack during the war, it was subsequently moved to a weapons range where I took another picture of it in a worse condition after suffering the attentions of Harriers and F4s for a couple of years.

The aircraft took a direct hit from a cluster bomb dropped from a Sea Harrier while taxying for take-off. The pilot, Teniente Jukic was killed along with other FAA personnel in the area. The remains were eventually cleared away a year later to the local rubbish dump.

Damaged by a Sea Harrier attack during the war, it was later shipped to the UK and registered as G-BLRP, since cancelled.
