Navy T-Harrier with replacement wing

Hello,

 

 I remember having seen a picture of an FAA twin stick Harrier (T-4 or 8, not sure tbh) in light grey colors, but with a replacement wing in DG/DSG (almost certainly from an RAF airframe).

 

I can’t find that picture anymore. Has anyone got more info, like serial number, timeframe etc...?

 

Really fancy something ‘different’ for my Kinetic project...

 

Best regards,

 

Guillaume

It was XZ445 which sadly crashed killing both crew members. There are photo's of it fitted with a ex-GR3 wing which I have seen, but can't remember where! Maybe contact someone on the harrier SIG web site? Oh by the way, I just got a Kinectic T8 kit & hopefully making that particular a/c to!

Pics were on here before the Photobucket kerfuffle. Got some pics on PC, will have a look later.  I saw it at Leuchars in late 94. There is a photo of it in all light grey in Braybrook’s Vertical Reality And here:

Interestingly,  XZ445’s light grey wing was fitted to a standard DSG T4N.

The big roundels on the wings are the giveaway this wasn’t a single seater wing
