Harrierpilot

The acquistion round would be on wing and the RAIDS pod on the other.

When the RAF harriers were built the aircraft with the "ZD" serials wewre fitted with the 65% LERX and the "ZG" serialed aircraft were fitted with the 100% LERX from new, there was no up-grade up to the 100% LERX for the Batch 3 jets. By the look of the photo I waould say that it was taken about the time that the RAF Harriers where flying Op "Warden", the no-fly zone in the north of Iraq after Gulf War 1 whn all the jets assigned to the operation where fitted with the smaller 65% LERX. it was proposed to fit the 100% LERX to the "ZD" jet in the JUMP program by this was cancelled to cut costs.

The Maverick was withdrawn the same day has the JFH disbanded.

The green coloured lensed lights flash white.... a bit like the old fasthioned flash bulbs for you camera. The lights for the NVG's a small low voltage bulb which don't look like they are switched on to the naked eye

There was two "Vandy 1" jets, a F-14A and a F-14D.

The First pair of RAAF EA-18G's arrived "down under" for the Avlon show last week before they jion No.6 Squadron at Amberley. The jets were A46-306 aand A46-307.

A report I read stated IF the RAF had the C-22 it would be No.7 Squadron operating them with the SAS/SBS operations in mind.

I'm looking at my 1/48th scale of ZD404/33A "Lucy" and she's fitted with a pair of tanks on P2 and P7 with Paveway III on P3 and P5 a pair of BOL rails in the sub-pylons and a TIALD on the Port fuselage sation. the remaining 2 pylons are empty has is the centreline one.

I am currntly building a Harrier GR9 and have managed to leave a "glued" thumb print on the clear part of the canopy. What the best way in restoring the canopy....other words... to get rid on the print.

You could buy a real one out of the "Boneyard" for that price.

What scale please.?? The CRV- and the DJRP are both in the Airfix in 1/72nd scale and I modified the pods off a Apache AH1 in 1/48th scale.

The pilots (one ETPS student and one ETPS Instructor) both had injuries related to ejecting from the aircraft. The instructor would have gone back to the EPTS but the pilot would have "failed" the course and would have returned to his normal Squadron duties in the air force that sent him to the ETPS. The student was already a trained pilot and not a trainee pilot he would have done several 1,000hrs in flying frontline fast jet within his own country's armed forces.

Good luck with your search. I have only found crew figures with the masks and visor in place. (PS: You may need a 1/72nd figure for Maverick )

Shaun. I'll ping you a PM if you have any DJRP's left.

The work by Boeing for the Blue Angels F/A-18E Super Bugs started on the 1st August and the Team should be getting the first of the "new" jets about Christmas.
