No need to recruit Harrier pilots anymore so, no need for recruitment materials!

Kind regards

It's only the one and I've seen plenty of airframes for sale over recent years :) Probably an instructional airframe or damaged.

The Gr7 is fiberglass. The Gr1 nose, who knows!

Certainly no need for them now - if you're a teenager who wants to be God/a Harrier pilot now, you'll be hoping one of you parents is Italian/Spanish/American/Indian! :lol:

I suspect it was made to order for the exhibition team. :)

That reminds me of a Wokka that was on display with people getting tours through it in Leuchars airshow last year.

It was plastic :worried: There were loads of people running round photographing everything in sight at the show and I had to laugh and point it out to at least two people when I walked past them waiting for a clear field view of it. Most embarrassed they were at their gaf :lol:

Is that the one that's part Wokka, part HGV?! :lol:

I think the last "real" (complete, as they had the "Com-rod" fuselage until recently) airframes they used were the Mk XVI Spits now with the BBMF for spares (x1) & restoration (x1).
