Harrier at Sharm El Sheikh
 

Can anyone shed any light on the Harrier GR7/9 at Sharm El Sheikh yesterday? Saw the RN 2-and-a-half pilot in the airport terminal and the ac sat on the tarmac as our charter taxied past at about 1700L. I couldnt make out the tail letters or the squadron markings.

Just curious...

cheers,

Probably wanted a P.

On its way back from 'Stan and wanted a paddle?

Probably something to do with a swop over in Afghantownsville.

800 Naval Air Squadron is the current Harrier squadron in Afghanistan at the mo.

Was Tracey, was.

MOD announced on 23 Jan 07 that they were now back at Cottesmore.

Sorry LAL, not the MOD this time, just sloppy post by me.

Good to see the MOD being completely inaccurate with their announcements as usual...........1(F) took over in mid-Jan.

Understand that 800 are taking a well earned break before going to the Med in Illustrious in March with some good on-the-job training under their belts.

If 800 are as good on Harriers as they were on Sea Hawks (in'56) the poor sod was probably simply lost! ;)

Broken Jet I heard. 4 days worth of 5* treatment, lucky bugger!

And only one overnight bag. Bet he smells a bit by now.....

Surely there must be more bags in SES.

Or maybe he has the desert survival pamphlet open - don't mess with the local women.

The MOD have announced that 1F are now using GR9s as well as GR7s in AFG.

He'll be in my house tomorrow so i'll ask him !! He's finally found fame in his own thread on Pprune, he will be pleased!! Probably threaders that he couldn't find a dipping joint!!;)

Call yourself Junglie mincing around with Puff - Jet cheesers.You're either a wanabe or a turncoat......:= Either way take a slap!
