Hi Guys, just a few more from the press day at Yeovilton Last week. Maybe you can spot a familier face or 2.
There is a report on the day, scroll down the page to the link

Even if they are old, Great aircraft can fly forever (if it isn’t broke don’t scrap it)!! Take the B-52 for example.
Jamie Hunter’s book is very very very good, a must for anyone who likes the Shar.
In fact, after reading it I am even angrier with the Sea harriers early culling.
It is multi-role aircraft, despite what the govt claims.
What should be happening is that the Sea Harrier should be in service until it’s gracefully withdrawn when the F-35’s ‘stand up’ in 2012

Such a shame, but it seems our Gov just can’t afford anything that isn’t immediately essential to overseas commitments. Anything that it doesn’t have a signature on a contract for, at any rate. The last one was delivered in 1998, but I suppose only a handful were as new as that, and in technology terms it is/was outdated. Never stopped us operating obsolescent kit before though…
That Jamie Hunter book is well worth the purchase for anyone considering it.

I absolutely love the Sea Harrier. It’s a shame the British government seems to think they need to retire this jet which is more than capable, even by today’s standards. 🙂 These are great pictures, I wish I could have been there to take a few myself! 🙂

Looking at those pictures makes me feel so, so angry with our govt who have smashed the axe on these great aircraft 😡
The aircraft were multi-role, highly respected and loved by their pilots.
I don’t care what anyone else says, in my view it’s an absolute disgrace that they are being scrapped early.
Trust me, you are not alone in your thoughts.
