yes - two AEW3s were resurrected during the Falklands war. The apprentices at Yeovilton did one in the museum workshops, while I believe the apprentices at Culdrose did the other. They were backstops in case the Sea King conversion failed.
Both were sold out of service: one to Hamilton Standard, one to Dowty-Rotol, both for prop research/development
