Being used as a ground target in the "Rabbit Range" and has been on the receiving end of Harrier and F-4 firepower for a couple of years. Originally the aircraft was damaged by the SAS raid on Pebble Island during the war. Close by are Huey AE-412 and Pucara A-506, all suffering the same attention (see here). The remaining bits were cleared away by the early 90s.
