"Nozzles/throttles restricted"? There are hundreds of aircraft which aren't necessarily airworthy but aren't so modified. Many of them would make a much bigger hole than a Harrier. What's so special about it that it needs the ANO re-writing?
FWIW there's one in private hands on the U.S. display circuit...as well as two Mig 29's

Great. Can't remember when I last enjoyed watching an aircraft start up, taxy around a bit and then shut down quite as much as that. I didn't make it the last four minutes; did I miss anything?

Doesn't make it any easier in EASAland. There was a Lightning flying in South Africa too.

Sorry Stanwell, you tend to hear about xyz being brought back to life and to ground running condition, but this one was off the chart so to speak and as such a pleasant surprise.
I find it very inspiring that people are spending money bringing these aircraft back to life, far better than simply sitting in some overgrown museum slowly rotting away, at least with it running, it's systems working and airflow through the structure it's life expectancy is increased.
Never mind Courtney, I suppose when they get the Phantom at Brunty up and running you won't be impressed with that either.

Nutty, not really. I saw an F4 start up taxi and shut down once. Show me a jet flying and I'll watch with interest. I like to see them where they were made to be.
Don't you think this is a bit like spotter territory?
Anyway, if it floats your boat, that's fine.
