I don’t recognise some of the Harrier asymmetric stores problems mentioned on this thread.

In the early 70s before the RN would agree a SHAR development contract they required us to demonstrate with a Harrier some key spec points. One of these was that we could bring back one Sea Eagle (1400lb) vertically. Sea Eagles were scarce so we used a Martel at 1800lb plus on the other side a SNEB launcher ballasted to give the required asymmetric load.

No probs.
