Description
The BAe/McDonnell Douglas Harrier entered service with the RAF in 1969 and was the first successful ground attack aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) Thailand, Spain, and the USMC also took on the Harrier.
The Harrier is built around the Rolls-Royce Pegasus engine which has rotating nozzles to direct thrust backwards for flight or downwards for short take-off (STOL) or vertical take-off (VTOL) depending on load.
The Harrier has 4 to 8 under-wing pylons and a fuselage pylon and 2 x optional gun packs with 25mm or 30mm cannon. The usual load-out is rocket pods, fuel tanks and/or bombs.
This example is a BAe Harrier GR.3 of 4 Squadron RAF 1976.

I love the long-nose variant.
