View Full Version : Harriers!
I got a message from a friend last night. A brace of Harriers over Tyneside and Northumberland yesterday.
He said they appeared to by carrying long range tanks.
Anyone know anything? I doubt he is mistaken, having worked with Harriers in the past.

Case of mistaken identity? Not Harriers but Czech Air Force Aero L-159A ALCAs. They are currently on exercise and operating out of RAF Leeming.
First link is taken at Leeming and shows the tanks carried.
