Nice one. A magnificent and a sad sight. A plague on the houses of those who have brought about the premature demise of this magnificent aircraft.Easyrider5258 wrote:16 Ship at 14.40 @ Raf Wyton

Re: Harriers Final goodbye happenings (updated)
Just about to say the same. I am glad to hear and see the 16 x formation managed to navigate its way across Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire only to fail to find Rutland. DOH !!!!! Although the return to base provided some impressive landings. Better luck tomorrow.
Re: Harriers Final goodbye happenings (updated)
Ok, so here is the inevitable question... has anyone got the serials for the 17 a/c involved please?
TIA Ray
