Description

Hi,
Taken on Family Day at the now closed RAF Cottesmore, here is the quite legendary Sea Harrier FA2..
The story of course of this aircraft is very famous.. Sent with the British Fleet to take back the Falklands, 28 had to cover all the ships and maintain constant CAP patrols..
The Argentinians had a vastly bigger air force and a much faster one..
The rest is history, several Harrier pilots became aces, and not one was lost in combat..
Note the huge barriers here.. lol
Nice huh?
Rob

P.S. This aircraft is now in the Royal Naval Museum..
