Aim
Sorry - my original post was not meant to be about the Harrier at all, merely a response to another poster who had suggested the reason for not having a type on the BBMF was that it did not fight in the BoB.
As I said, all too subtle sorry!
I see no case to retain a flying version of the Harrier anywhere in the UK.
I do see a case for having eight in the Stan until the UK pull out of there saving refuelling after take off and various other issues with the current type.
But then technical merit never did overcome political expediency.
