It's been 6 months since the Harriers last flight, pilots have moved on to new platforms, lost their currency on type, so not viable. Techies, the same as pilots, moved on and lost currency. If this was possible, spares and equipment is being disposed of from MOBs and Depots. Even if the UKG ordered the Harrier to be brought back into service, it would the earth; which the tax payer would have to pick up

I take aboard what you are saying and no doubt those words are being voiced very loudly throughout the corridors of power but is it really such a huge hurdle?
Do I have too much confidence in the skills, the adaptability of our service personnel?
Is six months such a huge problem or is this more chaff being launched to hide this much better operational option?
