Harriers for THUMPER

Postby Xplumberlives » Fri May 21, 2010 2:40 pm

Whilst enjoying a very slow days fishing I took the oportunity to snap a few of the Harriers going round the circuit!

Single seater with colourful 4Sqn markings on tail zipping round the circuit.

Very slow day, only caught five small ones! I was glad the Harriers were around to relieve the boredom! ;)

Long distance shots from the front door, first one shows plain Harrier with only the OLD 20 Sqn badge on the tailplane.
Image

This shot shows combined 20 Sqn and 4 Sqn markings.

bet you didn't get called into the OCU hangar to stick your skinny arms into a full tank of freezing cold water because they dropped a socket!!!!

the added bonus was, an Armourer I had extra long arms ....... =)) =)) =))

I will see what I can do, (I wasn't suggesting anything NASTY) is there a Maximum sixe that would fit on the bike?


I had these made up for the boys bedroom doors a few years ago!
