UKAR is stating that the Harriers have already left Cottesmore XP and that there may be routing to Leuchars. Call sign was Jedi3 flt.

I'll go and watch them land then!

She'll have Harrier jets on board which will take off shortly after she leaves the Tyne. These will be the last ever Harriers to fly from an aircraft carrier

apart from the Av8b's that the us marines use, or am i being stupid

Hi BULLET, I presume the throw away comment meant BRITISH operated Harriers!

[Stigish]

I'll look forward to the pics Xpl, Just not the aftermath
