Sea Harriers over the Falklands
8 June 1982: RAF exchange pilot Flt Lt David Morgan in Sea Harrier FRS1 no ZA177 (77, foreground) shot down two Argentine A-4B Skyhawks of FAA Grupo 5 over Choiseul Sound in East Falkland, and Lt David Smith in XZ499 (99) another, using Sidewinders. David Morgan was later awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions in the Falklands conflict.
This photographic digital composition has been used in various publications, including the cover feature of The Armourer magazine's May 2017 issue and a Falklands 35 commemorative journal.
