Why do those old Harriers have such big noses? Do they have anything useful in them?

No history with the Harrier (or any other aircraft for that matter) but as the Sea harrier was an AD asset I imagine that the big nose is where they kept the Radar.

Do they have radars in the Harriers they didn't get rid of then?

Stacker:
The only UK Harriers with radar were the Sea Harriers. The GR7/9 series don't - they are pretty limited as air defence aircraft, but then they were not built for that.....................

Ah, I see.
So what do the RN use for air defence these days then?

Not quite the bites you were looking for then?!

Maybe Bob is right, but either way I bet your wrists ache from al that fishing. I suppose you also had an innocent grin as you typed (to try to look convincing):}

As an AD asset the SHAR was pretty useless. Poor Radar performance, limited range and as slow as a tortoise.

He has successfully dead sticked a Harrier, so it's not just luck.

I would imagine that whatever it had in it's service days has now been upgraded to the full Blue Circle spec
