As Pagman said, the Sea Harriers are all gone. I had quite an affinity for them as I worked on a simulator many moons ago.

Pagman wrote in post #19015780 Harriers all gone went a few years ago - some to the US and most scrapped the latest "stealthy jet" is the F-35B Lightning II it has vertical take off and landing like the Harrier - but no were near as much class. P. Thanks- I sort of thought they went over to the F-35. The Harriers got your attention, they were loud.

Though it will be cool to see more documentaries about the new Ford class (imagine sailors have an easier time below decks with the new catapult system).
