Mr Farley sir,
It's an honour to have you reply to my question. I'm going to show it to my youngest son Harry, he has a burning ambition to fly a Harrier (strange since he's only nine). Whether he's able to fulfil his ambition matters little at this stage, what is important is that the Harrier is providing the right sort of vectored thrust in the schooling department. Harry has gone from the bottom to the top and is now a team leader as well as a talented rugby player.
I'm not an expert on the Harrier, all of my studies were done in Horsham library (I remember a picture of you trying to connect a Harrier to the extended arm of a JCB, what was all that about?) I do recall that Shorts lost out with lift engines and Hawker won with the Pegasus. Your last post adaquately explains why.
Thanks to you all
FEBA
