Widger I suspect that this thread will soon fade away and go into storage itself. Not quite yet though.....
Navaleye I suspect that when this thread is left to rest, a new thread dedicated to CVF would be apt.
Back on topic, from the MOD
Sea Harrier bows out in wave of emotion
Ignoring the issues of lost capabilities, as has much of the media.
There was a piece in the
Western Morning News today.
BOND LOOKALIKE'S SAD FAREWELL TO 007
However, the Sea Harriers will still live on, as they will be used to train new naval recruits. Commanding officer of RNAS Culdrose, Captain Jerry Stanford, said: "We have a concrete flight deck that has the same lines painted on it as those found on a ship. These fantastic aircraft will be maintained so they can taxi on the simulated deck for training. We will continue to use them in Cornwall for the next ten years."
I suspect the Navy will want to look after them as best as they can......just in case.
