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.:sad:

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!:ok:
