I think that it is fair to say that there would never be any near misses if the RN kept the Sea Harrier (SHAR for those in the know)
I find it hard to believe that everybody is having a go at the Americans but are missing the point that without organic aerial defence the fleet has left itself open to disturbingly keen ppruners to flog the same old dead horse, and repeat themselves for the umpteenth time.
The other day my milkman delivered two pints of semi-skimmed instead of the usual three. This would not have happened if the Sea harrier (SHAR) was to continue in service.
Of course, not only am I interested in the Sea Harrier (SHAR), but also I greatly value the inputs that Jackonicko
has to offer. I was extremely excited to hear of his extensive aeroplane checklist collection. I just thought that he was an overly keen wordsmith, but little did I know about his passionate and quite normal collection of all things aviationally dull.
Did I mention that i like the Sea Harrier (SHAR).
