Paco Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Hi. I changed the title to include any and all details regarding The Harrier GR1/3 so that we can all benefit from this. I left the original question asked before to get in the mood of things. Thanks all for you participation. Hi everyone. I was wondering if there are any photos anywhere on the net that show the cockpit without the seat installed so as to see all the details inside? I've been googling all possible combinations I could come up with but found nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Tony C Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Great question, I'd be interested as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG899 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Nothing in my collection or the Harrier SIG's for the GR3 I'm afraid to say, other then the diagrams in the APs. Not even from a cockpit restoration one of our members did years back. You could email a company in the UK called Jet Art who have restored a GR3 recently; I'm sure they will have photos and I'm sure we'd all be interested to see any you get.

st george Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Sad to see 4 SQN Mike looking like that. I remember working on her when I was on Happy Four in the early 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sourced many parts for it, including some that were original to XZ993. I was gutted to part with it but I came to the conclusion that it would need more funds to restore than what I could throw at it and do it justice. It is now in really good hands and looking very good indeed. If you need a further pics just let me know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 That must have been quite an ambitious undertaking to want to restore such a piece. All I can say is hats off to you Sir! I could use any and all photos I can get. I'm currently working on a GR3 converted from the old Monogram Hawker Harrier and the cockpit (among many other details ) are lacking. I'm totally redoing the cockpit section at the moment. Therefore, yes, if you have further pictures showing the cockpit tub, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the offer. Cheers!

Tony C Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Paco, if you don't mind (happy to remove my post if you would prefer me to raise these requests elsewhere), could I also request any pictures for the GR.3 refuelling areas plus any other inspection bays that would be opened for, well, inspection or access to the various electronics bays! Alternatively, does anyone know of a Harrier GR.3 walkaround that will show these areas that is either available in book form or on the internet?

It could be very informative. Let's see if we can get the moderators to turn this into a Harrier ask all your questions here thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis I will try and upload some more to my Flickr page some time soon. One thing that is worth looking at in those pics is how the auxiliary blow-in doors feed in to the main intake area. I haven't got pics of the other areas being asked for, not sure if the relevant pictures are there but the forum Harrier walkaround is here, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
