Rob P Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Can someone confirm or deny whether the Harrier Terma AIRCM pod was trialed by 41 Squadron prior to deployment? Thanks in advance of any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Can someone confirm or deny whether the Harrier Terma AIRCM pod was trialed by 41 Squadron prior to deployment? Thanks in advance of any help. I personally watch a 41 Sqn Harrier testing flares over Manobier range, West Wales during exercise Welsh Rider a few years ago, so I would say yes to your question. They had numerous range slots during that week of trials. Shaun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob P Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Cheers Shaun, much appreciated. Do you know of any other ordnance carried at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Cheers Shaun, much appreciated. Do you know of any other ordnance carried at the time? The one on the range had Tanks and not sure what was used to balance the TERMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobski Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yes, the pod would have been tested by 41 Sqn prior to deployment. Not sure about ordnance, but I would assume that at some point they'd need to fly it with a representative war load... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrierpilot Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I think I have a image somewhere of a 41 Sqn jet with as TERMA Pod on postion 6 and a Sniper pod on 4. PM me with a e-amil address and I'll try and find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomb'ed Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I think I have a image somewhere of a 41 Sqn jet with as TERMA Pod on postion 6 and a Sniper pod on 4. PM me with a e-amil address and I'll try and find it The TERMA was fitted on the right hand (viewed from the rear) side in place of the strake, SNIPER on the left in place of the strake. A likely load for the trial would have been tanks/BOL launchers with a sidewinder acquisition missile and maybe a RAIDS pod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocksAway Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Not sure about timing, but if you look here and scroll down to the photo of ZG510, this is what you need? Or have I got the wrong pod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
