The Falklands Legacy
Oddly it doesn't mention the decision to develop Blue Vixen radar and upgrade the Sea Harrier to FA2 standard, then retire it prematurely (as discussed elsewhere)....
I understand that
Illustrious will be in London for Falklands25 events in June. Why can't she have a Sea Harrier (possibly also a Harrier GR3, maybe a Sea King too) on deck? We have all three types in storage, and if they can't be flown.... I seem to remember seeing a picture from Bosnia where a Shar was lifted by a US CH53.
