It was great to meet old friends and colleagues, most of the HARRIER world was there. I took over 1800 photographs over the two days and still have some sorting out to do.
If you want a few more, I will post some tonight.

Thank you for your kind comments, the weather was indeed far from PERFECT, but very fitting for an occasion that was so sad.

Now that really would be a bow to the crowd.

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.

Great shots Dave . 
Thanks for the head on shot. Will any anti-det work be done on them? Or will they just be mothballed?

Great pics of a sad day mate
Hopefully someone will do some decals for all the special schemes soon as I quite like the retro GR1 sheme [even if its a bit shiny , we'll let them off]

They will be lovingly maintained by a small team and this is expected to include engine runs!

I'm afraid it's only fuzzy black Harriers against dark grey clouds, but this was the best I could do in the conditions. Sadly there won't be another opportunity.
