Following on from the UK Govt decision to pull the SHAR FA.2 from the UK carriers I found some news of theyre fate on the UK House of Commons Hansard report:
———————————
Mr. Jenkin: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what recent representations he has received from the Indian Government about the purchase of Fleet Air Arm Sea Harriers. [49761]
Dr. Moonie: Officials within the Ministry of Defence have received inquiries from representatives of the Government of India regarding the future availability of surplus Fleet Air Arm Sea Harriers. As part of its marketing strategy for the sale of these aircraft, the Disposal Services Agency will follow up all expressions of interests accordingly, subject, of course, to the normal export controls.

Dr Lewis Moonie is the current UK Undersecretary for Defence and speaks on matters of defence procurement and disposition in the lower house.
Might be interesting news for some.
