We have the Port outer wing from a Harrier GR-3, with a sheared off Port outrigger leg attachment.
We belive it is from one of the following aircraft, can anyone pin point which it may be?
a) XW763.
b) XV738.
c) XV747.
d) XZ967.
e) ZD668.
f) ZD670.
Many thanks in advance.

The hulk of XV747 was at Hucknall ATC for a while and then used in the BBC series ‘999’ to simulate the crash of a GR.3 on the hover pan in Vigo Wood.

Thanks
Thanks David (both of you!) it looks to be XV747 which crashed on short finals to Wittering on 1st Nov 1987, the pilot Flt Lt Sharman safely ejecting.
Anyone got any further information or photo’s?

Guys – I don’t recall anything untoward happening to the ZD batch GR.3’s . The one that stands out is 747 .
