These are what my son took before he was chucked out of the service due the defence cuts imposed by this shower of a coalition.

As we all know the scrapping of the Harrier fighters caused much anger. A crass move by this government, no doubt to feed the pockets of another aircraft manufacturer. Anyway enjoy the shots,

Love the last shot of the Merlin, although all the good Merlins are GREEN! ;)

BTW I also think the 'Vignetted' shot of the Merlin is a cracker. :ymapplause:
