Saved from the scrapman

Hi guys, I work for a company formally known as Ferranti and I have worked in the Laser Systems Dept since finishing my apprenticeship way back in 83. We have provided systems for many aircraft and land systems such as Tornado, Harrier, Jaguar, C130 ect, when the Jags retired we bought back the LRMTS’s that were fitted to them. Some were refurbished while others were marked for scrap, so between contacts and other modelling message boards I have “saved” 4 from the axe man to date. They have went far and wide from Edinburgh, the furthest is Melbourne in Australia. The LRMTS’s have been refitted to 1 Harrier GR3 and 3 Jag GR1/3’s and they are as follows:
RAF Manston Museum Jag XZ106.
Bentwaters Cold War Museum Jag XX741.
Bentwaters Cold War Museum Harrier ZD667
Paul Cunningham’s Jag XX977 Melbourne Australia
The following selection of pictures show the Harrier (top) and Jag heads together and in their new homes.
