The British-built Kestrel was the prototype version of the Harrier and became the world's first operational VSTOL fighter with the RAF in 1969. As XS688 this was one of six Kestrels that came to Edwards AFB for US armed forces testing and subsequent entry into service with the US Marine Corps. This example is now on display in the R&D Gallery of the NMUSAF.

The P.1127 was originally a private venture by Hawker to prove the VTOL jet fighter concept, ultimately leading to the Harrier line. Six prototypes were built; this was the fifth

One of 9 Kestrel FGA.1s built as development aircraft between the experimental P.1127s and the production Harriers, first flying in 11.64 as XS694, then being transferred to the US Army for evaluation as 64-18266. Apparently became the second NASA 520 when the first (ex XS694/64-18268) crashed, substantial parts from the latter being used to make it airworthy again for NASA research use at Langley. They also had NASA 521 (ex XS689/64-18263, now displayed at the nearby Virginia Air & Space Center

The Kestrel was a step between the straight-winged Hawker P.1127 prototypes and the operational Harrier. This aircraft wears the awkward markings of the Tripartite Evaluation Squadron, which consisted of British, US and West German personnel. In 1965 the projected Mach 2 Harrier was cancelled, and the Harrier ended up as just a straightforward development from the Kestrel.

The P-1127 was an experimental aircraft built to develop the concept of VTOL and this was the fifth of the six development aircraft. The development lead to the Harrier which is still operated by many countries, though ironically no longer in the country that developed it !
