It's either an A4, a Super Etendard or a Pucara, I'm guessing around 1982 somewhere in the vicinity of San Carlos water in the Falklands? 🤔

The only thing going against the pucara for me is it was prop driven. I am learning more to the super E more now.

Pucara was a high T tail, I am giving my final answer as Super E.

I watched these from my OP way inland, brave pilots, not many actually made it back.
