Notes:

This 4 Squadron Harrier was one of several GR9s and a T12 from 1 and 4 Squadrons that operated from Valley for about a week, detached from their base at Cottesomore. It is seen arriving at the visiting aircraft apron. With the recent retirement of the Jaguar, the Harrier is now one of only three offensive aircraft types operated by the Royal Air Force.
