Jacko may have been alluding to the fact that yesterday marked the last ever RN Sea Harrier tactical mission. The last 5 801NAS pilots flew a DCA mission in south Wales against RAF mudmovers (2x Jag, 4x Tornado GR4s) and OCA (8x F-15Cs from Lakenheath). During this the Shars 'splashed' all of the muds and 'killed' all of the F-15s....twice. For the loss of one Shar.
Thanks John. Perhaps the Sea Harrier's swansong? It beggars belief that we have an aircraft that can repeatedly take out the mighty F-15c and we are throwing it in the bin. A capability other nations can only aspire to.
