Just so that we all know how the Harrier aircraft got its name, this is a Marsh Harrier hunting its prey at RSPB Minsmere with Sizewell B Nuke Station beyond



......or you could go back to the Kestrel days



........the only Sea Harrier I have is this grounded bird

[POL]

Again, many thanks all. Paul, I think your T.4 is XW933, last reported with 3SQN before it was w/o in 1985.

[DeltaCharlieKilo]

Just found this one, T4 XZ445 at Greenham 31 May 80.

Rob, do you have dates/locations for the last 2 shots?

[jaybee]

Couple of GR.3s with XV 748 homed at Elvington, XZ968 at Muckleburgh ....

[POL]

Both were noted at Mildenhall Air Fete in 1989, ZD324/B and ZD348/G - Unless anyone knows different, I'm happy to go with them?
