HARRIER T4 CRANFIELD 1986

Post by Blue Diamond » Wed Dec 20, 2023 9:54 am

Back in the day when you could have a pint or two in the Dakota Tavern and then walk around Cranfield as though you owned the place, I found this outside the College of Aeronautics hangar one Thursday in June.

Ah, the VAAC Harrier! I remember seeing her at Cranfield on her conversion, little did I know I'd be working on her later in life...

Excellent, I used to enjoy a bimble around Cranfield back in the day, but never got lucky with anything that exciting outside :thumbs:

Nice to see this again, I remember seeing this at Cranfield a couple of times. It was displayed outside the hangar at a PFA Rally one year. Thanks for sharing these with us.
