I see Ark Royal is at sea with a healthy compliment of 12 Harriers, although sadly not ours!

News : AURIGA : Global Operations : Operations and Support : Royal Navy

Where is the Naval Strike Wing? This should be very valuable training.

Or should We just call it 800NAS as 801 seems to have disappeared without trace.

Previously comprising elements of both 800 and 801 Squadrons, Naval Strike Wing (NSW) was formed on 9th March 2007. Effectively organised as a single unit hence making best use of available manpower and resources and as part of Joint Force Harrier based at RAF Cottesmore in Rutland, NSW became the single entity of 800 Naval Air Squadron on 1 April 2010 operating Harrier GR9 and GR9a aircraft in the close air support (CAS) role and is the Royal Navy’s only front line fast jet squadron at this time
