Sea Harrier photos from Falklands War - my dad? (E-J)

Hello,
I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right bit or not, and it's a bit of a long shot...
My father, Lt Cmdr John Eyton-Jones, a Sea Harrier pilot from 801 Squadron, was killed in the Falklands War (6th May 1982). He was on HMS Invincible.
We got his camera back afterwards, but with no film in it (?). Anyway, i've never seen any photos of him on ship in those few weeks since the start of the war.
Does anyone have any photos of life on the ship, either of relaxation time on the journey down to the South Atlantic, or of the Sea Harriers taking off etc. I would be thrilled to see a new photo of my dad...
I am amassing a collection of Falklands and Sea Harrier memorabilia for my 3 kids, all boys under 6. They are fully aware of what Grandpa John did and how he died and are very proud of him, as i am. It would be great to have a few candid "snaps" rather than the regular Squadron posed photos.
Thanks for any information you might have!
Anna
