Of course, we live in an age of fantastic technology but I was still impressed by the report of an aircraft being - no doubt vectored - towards an unresponsive Harrier, by all accounts, brand new and being ferried by a civilian.
The other pilot successfully located the Harrier and flew close enough - in the dark - to positively identify the unfortunate fact that it was flying by itself - its cockpit empty and canopy gone. A sad business but amazing all the same.
