Trim,

The Harrier was very resistent to engine icing, the big fan simply shed most of it out of the cold nozzles. I have chased a Tristar up and down the Adriatic in some pretty ropey weather and the icing got so bad I couldn't see out the front and on getting home discovered that the ice had broken the seeker head on a 9L!
