This is a “Navy” Harrier XV277 a P1127 (RAF) your one looks like A2160 at Gatwick before being re-painted.

What – Dan Air Comet 4C G-BDIX
Where – Over Spain
When – April 3rd 1977, en route to Los Rodeos, Tenerife. First large aircraft to land following the terrible disaster
Why – I managed to wangle navigators seat all the way down and back (5 hours each way!)

Great days!
