This guy did it without flinching.... (although not a Harrier admittedly)

I like this one..... funny when he spots a girl sunbathing, and check out when he goes up at the end (in the sky ffs) there is a wake in the water behind him like a speedboat.

Not knocking the Harrier one bit - fine aircraft and flown by the US Marine Corps.

But... if you lot got yourself one of these, you wouldn't need the VTOL. Just sayin...

Sometimes, only a Harrier will do...

Well you cant land any other airplane on top of a building on it's heli-pad, and we had one of those but that's goin' as well.

It's now a piece of crap and should be got rid of, Typhoon and Tornado are much better aircraft and the JSF will be the best plane on the planet.............

Hey, what's that smell? Could it be just the faintest whiff of testosterone?

snif sniff, no smells like giraffe [Poor language removed].....

Shocked here, galling decision to make all these cuts, especially when our fairy godmother has landed just the ticket to get us out right into our lap.

Mark Thatcher got off so justice isn't a factor, maybe in the spirit of global politics and a strong and united bond with the Middle East Britain sells this mans freedom to the Saudi royal family and chisels a chunk off the deficit.

Oh Yeah. Sorry about that.

When you realise that the first prototype flew back in Harold Wilson's time, it is a bit old and BTW it was the then government which kyboshed research on a supersonic version at about the same time as kicking the TSR2 into touch.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

at least they are all being retired intact, so the public will no doubt still get to see them at airshows etc. unlike the 'arl ones that there are hardly any left like spitfires, hurricanes and lancasters.

 

[Robert Jarvis]

But Reidy they are a lot older and back then there was not such a developed sense of nostalgia bit like thinking of steam locos.

BTW there are 2 flying Lancs, something like 30 spits around the world and only a few hurris.
