Believe maybe the Harrier would have a worse gliding ability then the hawk! So if anything went wrong the hawk could possibly make the thames, the harrier couldn't.
Anyway your right the coverage was a sh**e as you come to expect from the BBC, and was reinforced by the idiot telling everyone that the dominie was used as a training a/c for ALL pilots!
The bloody tw*t
Apologies for the lack of cut paste etc
Absolutely right. Im sure the Dominie link was the Sqn number plate - The Victors of 55 were used throughout the Falklands Campaign hence the flypast. Nothing to do with Rear Crew training - pilot training - good heavens
"BBC - Its what we do" Talk complete and utter nonsense if you ask me. Can I have my licence fee back
