Sea Harrier FSR1 1980-86
Here's a small selection of early SHAR'S , mostly photographed at Yeovilton in the days when the FAA still had fixed wing strike aircraft , not to mention the means to deploy them . These were certainly memorable times , wandering down RNAS Yeoviltons flight lines on early morning photographic sessions just after the crack of dawn , with a press pass of course ! I cannot imagine that a line of JSFs could ever have the same appeal .

Stunning!
How long did it take the SHARS to come out of their all-over Dark Sea Grey?

Re: Sea Harrier FSR1 1980-86
Another awesome set, easily the best looking of the Harrier versions.
Re: Sea Harrier FSR1 1980-86
Your best thread yet Fred, stunning pics of a stunning jet
Re: Sea Harrier FSR1 1980-86
Must have been standing next to you for some of these, Fred - as I have virtually identical shots buried in the archive. Hope you don't mind if I add a couple...
Reckon you must have missed the 1979 show, otherwise I'm sure you would have posted this tasty example from 700A Squadron. It was the only one I got carrying these markings...
And a low angle one from 1980...when the Sea Harrier undoubtedly looked its best. A nice paint scheme, colourful markings, pristine jets and good access to boot. What more could you ask for?

I am not a loony... I used to be, but I think I am better now...
Re: Sea Harrier FSR1 1980-86
Very nice, top quality shots. Again Fred they look like they came straight off a DSLR! Thought the SHar looked fantastic innthe original markings with their squadron marked tails. More please.
Cheers,
Chris

Excellent again Fred, I assume they are scanned from slides, the quality is superb.
Re: Sea Harrier FSR1 1980-86
Think 003 is actually an 801 NAS aircraft.

Re: Sea Harrier FSR1 1980-86
Fred, excellent, simply excellent, every one of those photos i would proudly display on my wall, just love that colour, and those 2 classic NAS tail fins, will we ever see the like again??
F35, we will see, they are going ot cost so much, F18s are half the price, there is a new US report commissioned by Obana looking at cost saving, saying they dont need all the F35s.
anyway your photos are simply beautiful, if only i could one one fly like this again,
more please
