This Falklands War veteran is now stored, along with many other helicopters, in Cobham Hall as part of the FAAM's Reserve Collection. The orange rings on the fuselage highlight the bullet and shrapnel damage sustained when parked on the deck of HMS Antrim when it came under attack from Argentian Dagger jets.
