Possibly, the detail on the crown looks different

Jordan might be a possibility

Aren’t they all RAF buttons, just different timescales, hence the different crowns?

This single seater is coded DV + C-P, could these be the initials of a double barrelled officer? It is my favourite shot in the collection!

Very nice, a new one to me! Do you mind if I share this on the Luftwaffe Experten Forum?

I checked out all three last weekend, they are all still there. ‘AJ’ was accessible if you were prepared to make the effort 😉

Not with a 6 year old in tow!!

The Fw190 might be the one used by 41 Squadron and coded ‘EB – ?’. Most of the other Fw190s listed as being usd by the RAF at Kastrup were twin seaters. Sure I’ve seen a photo of it somewhere, but it isn’t to hand.

The reason I asked is, beyond a study which appears to be in excess of 20 years ago no-one appears to have looked at the possibility of new build Harriers for a while, and it seems timely to look at it again. …….For example if the USMC was to accept that they will not get F-35B’s in service by 2012 they could order a small number of new Harriers to replace some of the older Harriers reaching the end of their service lives, likewise if UK follows the “road map” as laid out in the editorial on Navy
.

The sheer cost of restarting Harrier production would rule that out surely? Having to re-establish one, let alone two, production facilities, order long-lead time items, produced in a much smaller production batch than originally and re-skill the workforce would make a small batch prohibitively expensive, let alone any ‘improvements’ in technology since the 90s.

The Sea Harrier died because upgrading it to do what we needed it to do in the 2010s was too expensive; A replacement batch of Harriers would be even more so. It’s a niche aircraft, that’s why it didn’t have a great export sales in the first place.

Some major copyright infringements there; an email to Flickr may be in order

Re the nuclear deterrent. No-body ever mentions the elephant in the room – the Uk will maintain an independent nuclear deterrent as long as FRANCE does the same. There is no way UK politicos will allow the French to be the only uclear country in the EU. Indeed, the other EU countries would not be too keen on that either.
