Description: Blackwater, UK. : TP Aviation Boooks, 2020. Paperback. 144 pp. Illustrations (mostly colour). 21x30 cm. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. - The financial crash of 2008 was the root cause of the Harriers demise - the most capable jet in the RAF at that time, its only downfall being there werent enough of them. If you take the cold fact that it was either Harrier or Tornado that had to be cut to ease the financial burden on the Ministry of Defence, then Harrier was the logical choice as the force had been slimmed to a point where sustained operations overseas had become impossible. Had the axe not fallen, it is quite possible that Harrier would still be in service today. This book takes a look at the service of Cottesmores Harriers and explains the end of days. Every Harrier that served at the airfield is highlighted with a full-page portrait and a brief history.
