    They certainly have left it a bit late - they could have had these ones at bargain-basement prices.

    Or they could put in a bid for the eight perfectly good ones we have stored in museums.

    There was no reason to wait for "New" aircraft, the Harriers they sold at bargain basement prices to the US would have filled the gap till something worthwhile was produced. Certainly the F35 "Lemon" the US is attempting to produce looks like a very,very long way off, meanwhile the Harriers are serving a useful role for other forces...............I wonder who received the "Brown Envelope" full of "Readies" under the table to facilitate THAT transaction.

    Here is the old thread on THAT episode............................


    http://www.electricscotland.org/show...-Harrier-fleet


    Rear Admiral Mark Heinrich, chief of the US navy's supply corps, is quoted as saying: "We're taking advantage of all the money the Brits have spent on them.

    "It's like we're buying a car with maybe 15,000 miles on it. These are very good platforms. And we've already got trained pilots."
