been doing a bit of digging on harriers due to the fact its my old mans 60th birthday soon and he was very proud of his time servicing harriers.
his favourite and memorable aircraft was xv752 and if you check the service records you will see his signature.
he serviced it in wittering, guttersloh and at saints.
he left in 1990 after 23 years as a chief tech.
xv752 was out of service due to fuel leaks it came in with 1 leak and stayed for 18 months as when the aircraft was waiting for repairs other teams used to rob the parts for other harriers and it was affecinatly known as the christmas tree and as parts where hard to obtained a lot were robbed from xv752.
that is why it took 18 months to get flying again.
