The Argentine pilots christened the Sea Harrier ‘La Muerte Negra’—‘The Black Death.’ 801 [squadron] pilots would tune their radios to the enemy frequencies and chant ‘La Muerte Negra ees-a coming!’

— from Sea Harrier Over the Falklands by Commander ‘Sharkey’ Ward, 1992

 

Inspired by a talk given to my hang gliding club by David Morgan, who (as of this writing) is still the last British pilot to shoot down an enemy aircraft in air-to-air combat, I built my kit as one that he flew in the Falklands War of 1982.
