A Newly Painted HARRIER

[IcH]

This gave me a surprise when I drove past on the A1 on Friday, looked left expecting to see the GR3 and saw this! Sad to see the GR3 go though because it was always a bit of landmark whenever I travelled north.

Saw her for real yesterday. Looks pretty good.

Now you have an updated version and you wont need to take your eyes off the road as you already know what is there.

The GR3 is expected to head towards a museum, much like the T4 and T8N that were outside 20 / 4 Sqn further in to the camp!

Okay XPl - you've said in different posts that she's a GR7 and a GR9! Which is right, please?

I'm going for GR7...

Thanks,

Gully

She finished her service career as a GR9!

Thank you!

UK Serials has her listed as a GR7A - did such a designation exist?

CHeers,

Yes, it was a GR7 with uprated engine and avionics, it may be correct, I was lead to belive she had reached GR9 level when damaged, now she is an empty shell!

Thanks, XPl.

Nice pics. I agree it would look better with some Squadron insignia though. Why leave it so anonymous?

I presume because there are NO Harrier Sqns at Wittering.

The jet is actually known as CHRISTINE as she was a bit of a bitch when in service, she suffered many mishaps and a loud sigh of relief was heard when she was declared BER after the rocket attack in Afghanistan that caused her to be withdrawn from service! She looked like a sieve when she was airlifted bock in a C17 due to all the shrapnel holes!

BER = Beyond Economical Repair

Be careful what you say about her,she's listening and waiting she will have more blood.....evil pure and unfiltered even Terry Taliban failed to destroy her, now she's sat next to a busy road. Just waiting to Collect some more blood.

Evil Christine!!!
