The FAAM had a Falklands exhibition before it got replaced by the Carrier. They had a variety of Argentinian aircraft on show, a Pucara, T34 Turbo Mentor and a Huey.
I think the Pucara is on loan to the Sunderland Museum, whilst the other two are in storage at Yeovilton.
Of the SHAR's there are a few still surviving in F/A2 guise with Falklands history, one has a very illustrious one if I remember rightly. No idea which though, ZAxxx or ZDxxx something I think.
Hope this helps
