Harriers at flypast

D.F,

If there's an actual FRS1 going - not 51 by kind permission of the Indian Navy - it would be news to all of us 'in the Dunsfold locale' let alone the RN !

GR3 - well they have seemed to let drop, literally, on their unpressurised noselegs ( could have been otherwise supported ) at even places like Duxford - the only GR3 near Dunsfold is the biggest BS spouter on the planet who has just a cockpit front.

There is an FA2 at Dunsfold which is in pretty poor shape - engine out, upper eng bay frames dangling, nothing much done to keep in shape when I saw it last 2006.

Still might make a backdrop for Jeremy Clarkson now & again...

There's also an ex-ETPS Hunter which my mention that it should be under cover did not go down well, obviously on financial grounds...

Meanwhile I hear they've actually got one of the TSR2's engines re-installed at Duxford and are very near to demo 'burns', though obviously that's as far as it will go, in static.
