Rolls Royce Harrier photo anyone?

Last saw her Oct 7th at Cottesmore in 1 Sqns hangar.

ask Andy Sephton…he flew her as well as Fricky.
I always thought she was very dark blue but wouldnt like to argue about it lol

Blue as in SR-71 Blue I assume (ie Black!):p

Thanks Pagen01 – if you spot anything do let me know.

I beleive it was refereed to as ‘Dunsfold Blue’

It was a very dark blue made by mixing blue with black in ratios of 25%/75% IIRC

In Andy Evans excellent SAM publications book on the RAF Harrier, the aforementioned ZD402 is described as being blue.

I think I might have some prints of this one, will PM you when I dig em out.

There are three photographs in the flight archives for 1989 (1716,2615,2110)

Not the aircraft but a nice model

I would imagine that the heritage trust at Bristol would have photographs
