Being used as a ground target in the "Rabbit Range" and has suffered the attentions of Harriers and F4s for a couple of years. Originally damaged by a Sea Harrier attack at Goose Green during the war. The tail fell off whilst being lifted by Chinook and was left behind at Goose Green. Nearby are Huey AE-412 and Turbo Mentor 0730, see here. The wreckage was all cleared away in the early 90s.
