I know im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the password. I love any help you can give me!
@Jeffery Bronson thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
To me, The Spitfire, Hurricane, Electric Lightning, the Harrier & Vulcan are all in the same basket when it comes to Pivotal, iconic British small Aircraft. You kist look at the profile & it stirs something deep inside & immense British Pride. 🇬🇧👨✈️
Great to see a Harrier video again. An absolute world-beating first, in its time. I remember seeing the "flying bedsteads" in the air at Farnborough (late 50s?)
problem with the harrier is its controlability systems in hover mode are rather rudimentary many pilot have been killed due to this, thats what makes the F35 particularly great becuase its all computerized. Much safer and gives the pilot more awareness. But you do have to love the Harrier.
I remember this display got absolutely soaked but worth it, but didn't alike the pneumonia as a result, 4squadron was my dad's squadron, you both are greatly missed
I was there what a miserable day. Most of the displays were cancelled. I had a gut feeling the government was going to pull the Harrier and it had just come back onto the display circuit so I tried to see it as much as possible. I couldn't take any decent pictures due to the heavy rain. The spray blasted from the ground was impressive. One of the best displays that day in difficult conditions was a female flying instructor, don't know her name, flying a Hawk which I usually find quite dull to watch but her display that day was impressive.
I remember we had an American Marine Harrier at the 1986 Trenton Air show and it took 75-gallons of distilled water for injection and some fool wanted them to do the vertical takeoff on pavement instead of concrete. After he took off the fire truck came in to put out the fire on the melted pavement. Last time they did that.
The Royal Marine and Navy Harriers (and their USMC Counterparts) were an amazing addition to the NATO Forces at the time of their operational implementation during the Cold War build-up against the Soviets and Warsaw Pact nations. A V/STOL multi-role Fighter/Attack Aircraft with Airborne refueling capabilities that were not only stationed on traditional airfields and aircraft carriers, but smaller Amphibious Assault Carriers as well, and could even be hangered in very non traditional bunkers and forward operating bases in forests and near mountains, being able to utilize highways, streets or even unpaved roads or grass fields, giving NATO forces the ability to retain or at the very least contest air superiority and provide CAS to ground forces even if every single conventional airport/airfield and/or Aircraft Carrier had been destroyed by a Soviet first strike. The Harrier played a pivotal role in the 3D chess match that was the Cold war.
I'm so upset. I was there on the day, and I didn't realise it was it's last show untill the display started. :'-( . Horrid weather, at least the good bit of the show went on!!!!!
if thats the year i went it was absolutely SLATTING it down when the harrier was displaying and most of us were hiding in the tents lol in hindsight that was a bad descision!
It's an absolute and total disgrace, politics getting rid of the Harriers, there should have been a new ship built dedicated for them, and there was NOTHING wrong with the Harriers. I question why I am sometimes proud to live in Britain :/
A complete travesty of justice to see the harrier discontinued. Any other plane available today to hover like a hummingbird, and land with a Horizontal landing?
We are getting Eurofighter typhoons aswell. This EU is turning into the Soviet Union. We are grinding away anything that is unique about us as a nation.
Alas there should be a flying exhibit of the Harrier / Sea Harrier as they helped us defend the Falklands's. And yet again it's all about money and reducing the National debt. Is this what David Cameron only cared about ?
Another plane sadly lost from the Royal Forces. All the aerophiles miss you Harrier.

Such a sad loss, Harrier still give me goose bumps!

What a fantastic machine!
Looks majestic
Not only can the harrier operate in virtually any weather conditions, it probably prefers the rain. Less water from its own tanks used for the hover!
problem with the harrier is its controlability systems in hover mode are rather rudimentary many pilot have been killed due to this, thats what makes the F35 particularly great becuase its all computerized. Much safer and gives the pilot more awareness. But you do have to love the Harrier.
Absolutely MEGA

My favourite aircraft EVER!!! Awesome machine. Thanks :)

Amazing video! Sad to see tho.... nothing compares to the Harrier!
Ah the Olden days!
Such an awesome aircraft.

Sadly missed , in mid Wales they always sounded like they were going really fast !
Awesome machine! Ended a great invention. Can turn while it stay neutral and can fly backward.
I'm so upset. I was there on the day, and I didn't realise it was it's last show untill the display started. :'-( . Horrid weather, at least the good bit of the show went on!!!!!
Fabulous show
Is there any chance one could be restored to fly at airshows like the Vulcan ?
Great video top
Us to see these birds fly out of RAF Cottesmore on a daily basis. Even the Sea Harrier. The white elephant F-35 ain't no match for these.
Sure👍..., a 1960s design is so much more advanced than a 2015s👍..., the F-35 would loose any day of the week
Disgusting that we don't have harriers anymore.
Really a unique aircraft!
The most magnificant machine since the space shuttle.
why does it always rain on airshows?
Ye
+XybaZ swe because its England it always rain
That one guy because air displays are organized despiste the weather
Awesome plane and piolot
Take a bow Hawker Harrier, take a bow.
That is still in production
Super pictures 😊😊😊😊
if thats the year i went it was absolutely SLATTING it down when the harrier was displaying and most of us were hiding in the tents lol in hindsight that was a bad descision!
I was working down at Halfpenny Green, was supprised anything flew that day at Cosford. Nothing moved at EGBO.
Harrier wow
Lindo caça e som do motor.
One of the best Planes ever build... shoved away for overengineered junk just as it's the trend across most countries.
It's an absolute and total disgrace, politics getting rid of the Harriers, there should have been a new ship built dedicated for them, and there was NOTHING wrong with the Harriers. I question why I am sometimes proud to live in Britain :/
yep I've never seen one its because of the f35 I think
I agree with you, it is a wonderful machine. I believe our USMC will keep Harriers for a while, despite the F-35b is fully operational.
España mantendrá sus Harrier hasta el 2030
A complete travesty of justice to see the harrier discontinued. Any other plane available today to hover like a hummingbird, and land with a Horizontal landing?
our sea Harrier's went to the Indian navy
Awsome plane lets hope the F35b is a match
And some
doe er wat mee knallen die handel
bye harrier " the best aircraft built ever" wellcome " new world order" the beast Of all times.
R.I.P.
Esse avião é show os americanos sabem mesmo fazer avião.
Good boy
Doubt if F35 can do all that and as well. It may well end up as the P45..
Bad Ass plane
Rip Harrier jump jets for the RAF
WHY do they scrap them?! there was nothing wrong with it!
Leon Reaper because the carrier was scraped first
+John Smith and now they're forcing you guys to buy the F-35 -_-
We are getting Eurofighter typhoons aswell. This EU is turning into the Soviet Union. We are grinding away anything that is unique about us as a nation.
Leon Reaper I'm not British but in my opinion the UK should leave the EU.
+Leon Reaper the uk was part of the team that designed and built eurofighter!
Would you like another cup of tea ? 😀
I don’t care what you’ve seen, where you were or how how awesome it was… none of them compare to an RAF Harrier display. None of them!
Only if we kept them
Alas there should be a flying exhibit of the Harrier / Sea Harrier as they helped us defend the Falklands's.
And yet again it's all about money and reducing the National debt. Is this what David Cameron only cared about ?
Super etendar argentino
Fyi merit make av 8b 1 18 scale
My god , what a horrible weather!
VTOL.....not ....STOVL....Like that pos F35b....
