Re: Want to fly a Harrier simulation?

Well it's a tad more than FSX! And it's considerably more than "a tad more than" the price we paid for a real Harrier (XV744 of Transatlantic Air Race fame) which will be arriving at Tangmere soon! PP That's another good reason to make the massive journey from Emsworh again :lol: When do ...
