Sea Harrier update

BAe Warton ( since the demise of Dunsfold, which was the birthplace & development site of the Harrier ) did the T4i upgrade & supply of ex-RAF aircraft for India - which included robbing Harrier 1's in museums - G-VTOL among others !

It still seems unclear as to whether the Indians will buy redundant FA2's - but if they do they will be without Blue Vixen or anything useful, so used for training airframes only.

The Israeli's have offered to update the weapons fit of the FRS51 - which was already downgraded from FRS1 from the start for NATO reasons.
