This former Argentinan Air Force Pucara was captured by the RAF at Port Stanley, Falkland islands after the end of the armed conflict in 1982. This is the former A-515 (15 still visible on nosewheel door), which was restored to flying condition and operated by the A&AEE for trials. It only flew in the UK from 28 April until 9 September 1983. Since then the aicraft is preserved in the RAF Museum in Cosford.
