This is my wifes favourite aircraft, and with the ongoing demise of our Airforce, i thought this would be a good tribute. Enjoy.

nice footage, good photos, and a truly revolutionary aircraft. i don't care much for the soundtrack though... even something "classical" might have been better, but that could just be me.

I've heard of these " Har-eriers" Tis said that once they roamed the skies of Albion and once even soared above the seas living on moving islands!!, What a sight they must of been, sadly killed off in their native land by Cameron De Moron of Pratt said to be a great walker in his land,or was it a winker oh some word like that.
Nice job matey I wonder if we will ever see them fly again.

Ah tis ever so the Great Departing, unable to survive in their native land many went to other lands to thrive, we thought the stories just legend for if they thrive in foreign lands surely would they not thrive here too? maybe if not cursed by Cameron De Moron of Pratt.

Thanks guys, pleased you like the model. Also thanks for the remarks about our dwindling airforce.

it used to be NATO= quality, not quantity. Warsaw pact= quantity, not quality. it is a bit sad to see quality aircraft go, but there is a combat heritage for most. i'll never forget the harrier successes in the falklands...
