I am presently in contact with the private owner of Sea Harrier ZD612. I am attempting to put together a history of the jet for the owner and also as the basis of a magazine feature. Have you flown it, maintained it or have any anecdotes please.

what is its number?

What is its number ie is it 26 or 28 something like that and what markings are on the tail?

I was on 800 until they disbanded so if it was one of ours i was FSI for a long time (Fleet FSI!!) so the paperwork has probably got my signature all over it.

if you can get me the number i can probably furnish you with some phots!

Perhaps the owner might also like to purchase a copy of "Fleet Air Arm Fixed-Wing Aircraft since 1946", available from the Air-Britain website - full history for ZD612 contained therein!
