The A-10 starboard engine nacelle came from serial 81-0967. It lost it to Serb air defences over Kosovo on 2nd May 1999. 81-0967 landed safely without it in Macedonia. The Serbs filmed the nacelle to death and revealed the A-10s construction number!
The Serbs kept the nacelle and it is now an exhibit in a museum:

A Tonka crew (I won't reveal their ident!- unless they want to own up?) fired this ALARM over Serbia. It came down in this condition and is now on display in a Serb museum. You can just imagine where the internals went before the missile was passed to the museum?

One for the National Audit Office! Looks like the Serbs got some free UAV and sensor technology courtesy of the Royal Artillery!
