Ok I'll bite.
Firstly all three Harrier Sqns operated from the same single pan that the Tornados used. There was no new pan built even up to the last day of flying. The building used were all ex TTTE buildings, with the exception of NSW which was purpose built because it was going to house two Sqns.
As for taking down all Tornado memorabilia from the Sgts mess by order of the Stn Cdr, Im going to call BS on that. Firstly thats the preserve of the CMC of the Sgt Mess, not the CO, and given that the Officers Mess still had plenty of Tornado pics in (as did the Sgts Mess when I was there for exchange drinks), I was either imaging it, or you're just making stuff up.
Im all for a bit of Harrier banter, but maybe we could at least try and keep a tiny element of truth in some of these stories.
Whats the difference between a Harrier and a Harrier pilot?
At least the Harrier stops whining at the end of the flight.
