Under this approach essential maintenance will be combined with upgrading the aircraft to the GR9 standard, which will result in the Harrier remaining in service until the arrival of the Future Joint Combat Aircraft in the next decade."
We do have other A/C in theatre and possibly others that still operate on the 'old' un PLUSE/LEAN system.
