Simon - The are a number of British aircraft still in service which fought in the Falklands. Several Sea Harrier's
are still airborne in F/A.2 mode. The Chinnook only really applies to one 'Bravo November' which is airworthy as a HC.2. The Wessex fleet are mostly retired (HU.5's and HAS.3's ) but a number are finding their ways into preservation. Regards the Harrier GR.3's I haven't checked that many but they are surprisingly few - the IWM at Duxford have one veteran and I will check on the others and get back to you.
