Heading North-East near Warwick.

I could have sworn it was a Pucara.

We captured 6:

A-515 (Re-registered ZD485) resides in the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford.
A-517 Apparently now privately owned (it was re-registered as G-BLRP for a while), whereabouts unsure.
A-522 (Re-registered 8768M) resides in the North East Aircraft Museum in Sunderland
A-528 (Re-registered 8769M) resides in the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum near Bungay.
A-533 (Re-registered ZD486) the cockpit section is at RAF Boscombe Down.
A-549 (Re-registered ZD487) resides in the Imperial War Museum at Duxford.

Nope, it was a Beech KingAir heading into BHX - I saw it from my office window.

Yeah, it must have been. I had forgotten there was a variant with a T-tail.

Now might be a good time for the Argies to lay on a surprise raid ala Blackbuck... do they still wear cockerels on their hats?
