Sea Harrier last Air to Air kill identity

[At Sea]

Hi,

 

Nagging at the back of my mind is the 'fact' that the last UK air to air kill was in 1982, by a Sea Harrier but can't seem to make Google magic it up.

 

Does anyone know the identity of the airframe involved or anything else for that matter.

 

Cheers.

Not sure about the last SHAR kill but the last UK air to air is probably XV422 taking out XX963 on 25th May '82.

According to Burden et al Falklands: The Air War (BARG ,1986), Flt Lt Morgan was flying ZA177 and Lt D Smith was flying XZ499.

Probably the same Harriers that did multiple mock up battles against AMI F-104s here in Sardinia
