But I was led to believe that the accident 'rate' for the Harrier GR1/3 was, percentage-wise, worse than the F104.
Percentage losses for all RAF Harriers was much higher than the F104, I seem to remember a figure of over a half were lost although I'm willing to be corrected on that.
Interestingly the Luftwaffe F104 percentage loss rate was around 30%, around the same as the Lightning and only slightly more than the RAF Phantom which panned out at around 28%.
Having said that the Luftwaffe had I think nearly 900 F104's so 30% of that is a lot of tin.
