Engines, thanks so much for you posts. Curious on your insights on the nuances of the Sea Harrier fleet, especially notoriously "good" or "bad" airframes? As with other smallish fleets, it seems some airframes had distinct personalities. I believe I recall #2, now with Art Nalls was always a bugger as it had some extra testing wiring.
Were the aircraft that were converted to FA2 more difficult to maintain than the new builds?
Appreciate any stories as I pull up a barstool. - Dave
