RAF Harrier Display at Cosford Airshow 2010

I miss the Harrier so much :(

Such a sad loss, Harrier still give me goose bumps!

Another plane sadly lost from the Royal Forces. All the aerophiles miss you Harrier.

Great to see a Harrier video again. An absolute world-beating first, in its time. I remember seeing the "flying bedsteads" in the air at Farnborough (late 50s?)

What a fantastic machine!

Looks majestic

Not only can the harrier operate in virtually any weather conditions, it probably prefers the rain. Less water from its own tanks used for the hover!

My favourite aircraft EVER!!! Awesome machine. Thanks :)

To me, The Spitfire, Hurricane, Electric Lightning, the Harrier & Vulcan are all in the same basket when it comes to Pivotal, iconic British small Aircraft. You kist look at the profile & it stirs something deep inside & immense British Pride. 🇬🇧👨‍✈️

Such an awesome aircraft.

Ah the Olden days!

I remember this display got absolutely soaked but worth it, but didn't alike the pneumonia as a result, 4squadron was my dad's squadron, you both are greatly missed

Sadly missed , in mid Wales they always sounded like they were going really fast !

Awesome machine! Ended a great invention. Can turn while it stay neutral and can fly backward.

Amazing video! Sad to see tho.... nothing compares to the Harrier!

I was there what a miserable day.  Most of the displays were cancelled. I had a gut feeling the government was going to pull the Harrier and it had just come back onto the display circuit so I tried to see it as much as possible. I couldn't take any decent pictures due to the heavy rain. The spray blasted from the ground was impressive. One of the best displays that day in difficult conditions was a female flying instructor, don't know her name, flying a Hawk which I usually find quite dull to watch but her display that day was impressive.

Fabulous show

I'm so upset. I was there on the day, and I didn't realise it was it's last show untill the display started. :'-( . Horrid weather, at least the good bit of the show went on!!!!!

The Royal Marine and Navy Harriers (and their USMC Counterparts) were an amazing addition to the NATO Forces at the time of their operational implementation during the Cold War build-up against the Soviets and Warsaw Pact nations. A V/STOL multi-role Fighter/Attack Aircraft with Airborne refueling capabilities that were not only stationed on traditional airfields and aircraft carriers, but smaller Amphibious Assault Carriers as well, and could even be hangered in very non traditional bunkers and forward operating bases in forests and near mountains, being able to utilize highways, streets or even unpaved roads or grass fields, giving NATO forces the ability to retain or at the very least contest air superiority and provide CAS to ground forces even if every single conventional airport/airfield and/or Aircraft Carrier had been destroyed by a Soviet first strike. The Harrier played a pivotal role in the 3D chess match that was the Cold war.

Absolutely MEGA
