Belgium's
last surviving Hunter FMk61 has been mounted on a column at a
roundabout near Chievres Air Base where it served with No.7 Fighter
Wing. The Belgian Hunters were retired in November 1973. Many were
refurbished by HSA and sold.
Harrier News
Duncan Simpson sent in a cartoon by Peter Brookes from the Times of
27 November last. It shows a cross looking Gordon Brown standing in
front of a Harrier surrounded by cases, labelled Iraq/Afghanistan, full
of bundles of bank notes which he is throwing in large quantities down
the intake of the GR9. They emerge as flaming debris. Our dear Prime
Minister is saying "What recession?"
As Duncan says, "It seems the Government of the day has found a new use for the Harrier."
