Can anyone identify this aircraft and its destination?

Seen at 0930 today on the M27 Eastbound...... And before you ask, it was not taken by me while driving......

Harrier? Whatever it is, it's dead!

The rear part almost looks French, as in one of the Mirage family. Whatever, let's hope that it's going to a loving home and not to the scrap man.

Almost certainly a Hawk.

Given where it was seen, and the direction of travel, my guess is that it could have been heading for the cross channel ferries in Portsmouth on its way to France.
