Hi Joe,
Well what an amazing piece of film, it goes to show that all that practice landing pays off!
I did'nt know about that Stool so that's something i have learnt!, shows what a great aircraft that Harrier is as you could not land any other aircraft on a carrier minus it's nose wheel without a problem.
Thanks for the link,
Roger.

To be fair we've still got one of the boats.

That 'stool' looks a bit heavy duty

Is it a 'fat @rse' American stool by any chance

Probably around a million bucks for a stool. We Brits would've just used a sandbag. £0-75p from army and navy stores.

Well done the pilot but "... $30million piece of military hardware would smash into the deck of the ship" a bit of an exaggeration.
