LO, the Harrier never did a VL at any UK air show to an asphalt surface. Sorry I wasn't specific enough in my previous post but it was kinda rushed.
I thought the hoo ha being generated was about the F-35B doing VLs during its UK debut.
Nice pun on the helicopter too btw. Random of course.
Keep blogging though. Modern social media and the human condition to seize upon any scuttlebutt and champion it as the truth is getting your blog some wide distribution.
