A couple of 2 seater photos. The 2 posers at leuchars just ignored me when I asked to sit in the cockpit!!

Robert,
Do you remember this thread ?
Quite a few of 2-seaters, plus if your near East Fortune theres always Ians cockpit section.
:D

Bit of a subjective opinion this, but I've always thought the twin-stick Harrier one of the 'wrongest' looking conversions of a single-seater ever! :diablo:
Things like the Hunter and Vampire, when converted to trainers, looked different but still very, very nice (in fact I think the Vampire T.11 looks the best of all the Vampires), even the Typhoon looks pretty good, but the Harrier just looks a bit odd.
What you end up with all depends what you've got to start with though I suppose. :D

Mark,
I think it was all in the balance.
I believe they tried various seating positions, but at the end of the day, i think the fact everything needs to balance each end of the Pegasus pendulum 'swung' it :D

Wrongest? Surely not, those glos black Navy versons can look oddly attractive, well from some angles!

Hello Robert,
So THAT'S who made me almost fall off my ladder!
(Don't forget to wave next time)
Seriously though, if you want a closer look in between your flights
from the West End of East Fortune then feel free to send me a PM.
I will be taking a new set of photos in a few days since the T2 is now off its handling trolley and perched on "proper" supports. (A bit more detail will now be visible).
Overhead flyers should notice some changes over the next few months as
I have acquired a set of proper canopies and from Dave T a pair of intake sections.
Anyone got a spare pair of wings?
Ian.

Privately owned Harriers
Posted on Ians behalf, himself and his T4 cockpit section. :)

Ian,
The last time I saw that it was in a small garage at Charnock Richard. Hopefully you got the boxes of cockpit bits that I managed to aquire for Darryl? Good to see it's got a seat in at last.

It couldn't have been a "small" garage! (the wide angle lens makes me look bigger in comparison). Seriously, if you do have any historical information, it would be gratefully received.
No- the box of cockpit bits must have sadly been dispersed long before I got it..............
As I mentioned previously, hopefully by summer's end she will have proper canopies and intakes (and the seat will be bolted in so that when I stand on it
I am not perpetually tipped out over the side!)
Cheers,
Ian.

When 899NAS was 50 in 1992, they painted their T.4Ns and a few FRS1 jets in anninversary colour schemes.
Anyone got shots of those?
Back then the aircraft would have had XWxxx registrations.

since you ask......have this one too. None of them really spectacular, I'm afraid, 1st time out the box with a Fuji S1 (which only does min 320 iso) at Vaerloese, Denmark in 2002. These days shoot predominantly 100 iso with an S2 so much sharper, but not been near the dwindling number of 2 seat survivors for some time.

I have tried to post a few pictures but it comes back "Invalid file type"
This is just an excuse to post a few Harrier pictures, so has any one got any two seater Harrier photographs?
