Lego Sea Harrier FRS.1 - a photo on Flickriver

            The Sea Harrier was a naval derivative of the Hawker Siddley Harrier GR.1, later British Aerospace, that incorporated an air-to-air radar and improved bubble canopy among other things.  It was the first operational vertical take off and landing combat aircraft which allowed for smaller carriers and improvised landing areas, like cargo ships.  It  gained a formidable reputation as a fighter during the Falklands conflict in 1982 where harriers of the Fleet Air Arm shot down an impressive 23 Argentinian aircraft without a single air-to-air loss.  My version is 1:55 scale to match my other aircraft, complete with deck crew and Vickers deck tug aboard HMS Invincible.  The livery is one of my favorites from 899 squadron, Fleet Air Arm.  Although 899 squadron aircraft did not participate in the Falklands campaign, it was the Royal Navy harrier training squadron and as such, many of its pilots did take part.
