It's now ten past two and the weather in P'boro' is deteriorating.
Just before two, a single jet could be heard high up in the cloud; was that it?

RIP Harriers

[Blue Diamond]

actually shed a tear

You're not the only one mate. Funny how a machine can reduce a grown man to tears.

[PeteHemsley]

my heart felt thoughts go to the pilots of these machines. once was a dream of mine to fly in this aircraft. hoped some day i'd get the chance.

[22A]

dam clear skies here too

3.00pm and we now have blue sky over P'boro'.
If air & ground crews haven't yet clocked off, can Air Traffic slot them in for a re run before dusk?

[Dan D'Air]

Thats it then...........I shed a tear, along with many others.
I salute the pilots and crews of one of the most iconic aircraft to grace our skies and defended this once great nation and freedom of our brothers in far off lands.
A fantastic aircraft that is going to be missed in more ways than one.

[romeo bravo]

A sad day at Cottesmore, unbelievable finale with all the jets switching off their engines at the same time and all the pilots and groundcrew being clapped away from the jets.

Well done Gary Waterfall and the rest for putting to bed one of this country's greatest inventions.

RIP JFH; have a beer on me.

(Nice to meet you Dave, did I hear right about the Chinese and the Harrier )
