Harrier GR3
Hi all,
Seen going into Marham on the back of a low-loader was a bare metal Harrier GR3 with an GR1 nose cone fitted. I have it on good authority it is XV741 in for paint.

Should be from Thorpe Wood N Yorks. That company that revamps old airframes to resell for static display. Has it been sold now? Guess they got a good deal with the Paintshop there - wont be much Tornado work now I would imagine...

I'm hoping that a couple may be painted up to commemorate the Tornados RAF service, as I'm assuming that there's only the Marham black tail left.

If its XV741 from Jet Art, then I assume it will be going back to the colours it had during the 1969 Transatlantic Air Race, which it won.

Just seen on a low loader on its way out of Marham.
Re: Harrier GR3
Maybe getting ready for RIAT?
Re: Harrier GR3
If its XV741 they have returned to a stock GR.1, then it will be heading to either Jet Arts HQ, or its new owner. Most certainly not RIAT

Re: Harrier GR3
Read off as XV741 driving out of Marham this afternoon
Re: Harrier GR3
Thanks Percy,
Its is the one they have spent loads on returning to GR.1 standard. And there is a reason for it. It is a special airframe
Think RAF St Pancras in London 1969
