Instead three went to Chile (back to Chile?) and several were scrapped.

The three PR.9s that went to Chile in late 1982 were three airframes that had been in store at St Athan since the disbanding of 39 Sqn in May that year. They were XH166, XH167 ans XH173. It's said they were in "payment" for services rendered during the Falklands trouble.

WK143's probe could have been dry, but WH734 conducted trials as a "receiver" from WK143.
