LIMITED EDITION
Air Power Series
A detailed DIE-CAST model for the adult collector

General Background

The Harrier is the first operational V/STOL (Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing) aircraft. By directing the engines exhaust through movable nozzles the force could be used to propel the aircraft along a runway or lift it vertically and then into a forward motion. Because of this ability to lift off vertically the Harriers began to be referred to as “jump jets”. These aircraft were continuously being refined and improved over the years with many new variants being produced.

The Aircraft

The British Joint Force Harriers are due for dress down (retirement) on December 16, 2010. This Harrier wears a special paint scheme marking the years this type of aircraft has been with No. 1 Squadron based at RAF Cottesmore. No.1 is the RAF’s oldest squadron.
