Photo Comment

First flown on 22 Apr'92 and delivered to the RAF on 2 Jun'92, and seen here during its high-speed take-off from Kandahar during Operation Herrick which supported ISAF. The Harrier was withdrawn fro use in Dec'10 and stored at homebase RAF Cottesmore. It was sold to the USA for spareparts fortheir AV-8B fleet. ZG862 was shipped to 309th AMARG in early '12 and stored up to Jul'23. Then moved to HVF West, Tucson (AZ) for scrap.
