I saw the Planes TV van as I was leaving. Hope they were inside as well as outside.

great article with superb pictures...........................


love this comment that was posted on the website.........

It may be that the Harriers are comming to the end of their days, but to decommision them without a replacement is absolutly stupid if not trecherious.


But don't worry there's plenty of money for Foriegn Aid to countrys that hate us.
Plenty of money for assylem seekers to stay in the UK , in heated accomadation, where as our own population can't afford too.
Plenty of money windmills, all made abroad.
Plenty of money for the Human Rights brigade.
Plenty of money for the EU, 48 million pounds a day.

Yet no money to keep the defence of the realm!

Nice clip. The way the Harrier lands out of sight behind the bank seems to fit the occasion, as do the people turning to walk away.

It lands behind the contours of the airfield because PLANES TV filmed it from the farmland at the western end of the airfield which is substantially lower than the runway!
