There was a Harrier (static) at the Avalon airshow in Melbourne years ago.
What amazed me looking at it was how compact the cockpit was.
As tight fitting as an A-4 - the pilot has a lot of leg under the instrument panel... must have been very tight clearance if you had to use the seat.
Much reflection on the bravery it took to strap in and launch off a heaving deck in cold, foul South Atlantic weather.
