It might be not so much has the Harrier embarrassed itself at an airshow, more has it suffered an engine problem whilst in the hover… That is its big thing – people would remember the Harrier as the plane that stood still in the sky; if it had suffered more problems in this phase then surely this could or would happen at an airshow or display.

EARLY VICTORY FOR BUSH

By Mark Sage, PA News, in New York

President George Bush won an early election day victory over Democratic
challenger John Kerry today.

By tradition, the people of the tiny New Hampshire hamlet of Dixville Notch
cast the first ballots immediately after midnight.

The 26 registered voters backed Mr Bush by a comfortable 19-7 margin over Mr
Kerry.

Last time, in 2000, 21 Dixville Notch voters backed Mr Bush while five voted
for Democrat Al Gore.

And on the wrong side of the road too – very unsporting, I felt – Nermal

what other airshow failures has there been, aside from Lowestoft?

There was an RAF one at a NATO thing in Brussels that occasionally gets shown on telly, another involving an early American Harrier where the pilot ejects just in the nick of time, and another which could have been in Canada although I can’t remember if it was an AV-8A or B. These I have seen on TV. – Nermal

I can answer the question but my dear Brit friends will not like the answer :diablo: 😀

Coz they are crap, or coz their mechanics are crap? – Nermal
