In defense of the Victors contribution to the Harrier element in Corporate my log book shows I flew three UK to West Africa sorties in early April 1982 refuelling at least two Harriers, maybe three, per sortie and including some SHARs. These aircraft were then supported as they continued on to Ascension. Some were embarked there and others caught the fleet up as it steamed south I believe.There may well have been other Harrier deployments.
It is also worth remembering that both the London and Plymouth Fly pasts were lead by a Victor. It was my crews privilege to lead the Plymouth event.
