Hope that's some use to you.
Great pictures and insight bonajet! I recall seeing some excerpts and cartoons from the AV8A flight manual warning that the harrier was quite capable of "digging it's own grave" on unprepared strips. Any insight on your '88 trials? The grass looks rather undisturbed even with heavy down nozzle. Dig any troughs? Dry surface? Was the picture a landing or STO?
