Quite right Graham – I misremembered, it was a painting of the Army A-4 concept. It was an old desk model of the Harrier in those markings I saw.

From memory, the desk model was a kestrel in Army markings (But I’d need to check) – made at the time of the TES evaluation.

One of the more interesting/strangest reported interests was from japan, who apparently were interested in the T10 for the Maritime Self Defence Force. Can’t remember the reason for the interest, but it was specifically the two seater and specifically the more operationally capable British version. They were also reportedly interested in the AV-8B+ at a different time.

BAE were also hopeful of a Sea Harrier sale to Australia after they ‘bought’ Invincible
