Photo Comment

Painted in in a retro gloss camouflage scheme as worn by the Harrier GR1 when the type entered RAF service. ZG506 was marked to commemorate the 41 years of service of the Harrier in its varied guises. Pictured on the Cottesmore flight line on the morning of the 15th December 2010 when it appeared that the weather would deny the final commemorative flypast across the UK. Fortunately the weather cleared sufficiently to allow a formation of 16 Harriers to get airborne later that day.
