Will the Harriers be sent to some museum for static display or are they going to meet the scrapman?
Seems a shame to me to scrap the Harriers. Part of history I would have thought.

If they have any sense at all then they will store them somewhere. Just in case...

I don't think they have anywhere to sell the GR9s, India use Sea Harriers but they might be a prospect, as are Spain and Thailand. But as you say they are better storing them just in case Kim Il-Jung goes agricultural and we need something to provide close support that can operate from rough short strips on a moving front.

We could use them down here. They mothballed our strike force 10 years next year.
