SEA HARRIERS, is it really all over?
Just when some bright spark sorted out the "flow line" for repair/maint at RAF Cott/Witt and sold out DARA St Athan, have the thinkers in the Centre now decided that the squillions spent on Blue Fox radar was a waste of time? And does anyone know what happened to the loch NESS monster?
Modtinbasher,The Blue Fox was the radar in the FRS1. FA2 had the much much better Blue Vixen. No it was not money wasted as the technology has found it's way into a jet currently flying near Lincolshire!

The end of the SHAR. Unfortuanately it is.
Despite the p!$$ taking that us RAF Harrier lads took out of the Sea Harrier,
I personally feel that we are losing yet another fantastic aircraft from our inventory.
Southside. If you are the greatest Naval whatever it is you think you are, you obviously don't know your aircraft history well at all.

You have to remember fella that I was flying before the SHAR joined up and I was there on the Mighty I when the 1st of Class Flying trials were conducted.... the SHAR in 1980 was a formidable beast...very good at intercepting and shooting down Bears and Badgers....

Damn shame about the SHAR. Good bunch of boys. Good jet. I don't care where Southside was, or when. He's wrong. And he knows less than me about it. And he probably has fewer mates. And less professional respect. And I am right. It was a good jet. Show some respect, Southside.

Clip on TV last night of bare-decked Illustrious[?] putting to sea yesterday, heading to Gulf. Captain waffling about "Our fixed-wing and rotary assets...".
Bloody daft decision, as is binning the Jags.
PS Has Webfoot slashed his wrists yet?
