| Description |
c/n P67 Built 1990 as a Harrier GR.7. Took part in ‘Operation Warden’ in 1993 and again in 1994, patrolling Iraq’s Northern ‘No-fly’ zone from Incirlik in Turkey. Took part in ‘Operation Allied Force’ in 1999 on missions over Kosovo from Gioia Del Colle in Italy. Took part in ‘Operation Telic’ in 2003 assisting the invasion of Iraq from Al Jaber Air Base in Kuwait. In 2004 she was upgraded to GR.9A standard and then carried out trials work, spending time at Boscombe Down between 2005 and 2007. Took part in ‘Operation Herrick’ from July 2008, flying close air support missions over Afghanistan from the base at Kandahar. Returned to the UK in July 2009. In November 2010 she was given a special livery for the Harrier fleet retirement and represented 1(F)sqn with a red / white tail. As such she was one of four Harriers to carry out the last Harrier departure from a Royal Navy carrier. She also took part in the final RAF Harrier flight, a formation of sixteen aircraft, on 15th December 2010. Donated to the RAF Museum, she was moved to Cosford in December 2011 and went on display in January 2012, still wearing her special markings. She is seen on display in the ‘War in the Air’ hangar, although she has since moved to Hendon and is on display there (as of 2018). RAF Museum, Cosford, Shropshire, UK. 14th August 2016 |
