Oh I quite agree, BUT I suspect the person who eventually buys that Harrier will already have SEVERAL NICE CARS! :D

Is D.W. looking for a Harrier at the moment? ;)

I heard that he doesn't like them!

I seem to recall there was one up there a few years ago, a battered up one, but he let it go. I may be mistaken though

His dad hurriedly called the sellers to say he couldn't afford out of his pocket money, so they made it a auction to stop it happening again..

Haha sorry :ymblushing: I did look but missed that...

A lot of money for a static exhibit though obviously they want to recoup restoration costs - who ever gets it lets hope they look after it..

I would hope that it goes into a museum so that it is maintained and readily viewable by the enthusiasts! :ymapplause:

Would look out of plcae in a garden, unless of course you hid it under loads of camo netting! :D

I'd be interested to know how much the LPG paid for a PAIR of FULLY FUNCTIONING Lightnings!

Bet it was nowhere near eighty grand!
