Following the Falklands War of April 2, 1982 until June 1, 1982 the Stanley Airfield was heavily damaged so No. 1435 was reformed using Harrier GR.1 jets until May 1985 when the unit was disbanded. In 1988 No. 1435 received four Phantom FGR.2s before converting to four Panavia Tornado F3s in 1992. In 2009 4 Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4s arrived at RAF Mount Pleasant to protect the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. ZK301 /D c/n BS053 built in 2009 was one of the Eurofighters.
