Sea Harrier News
 
    Art Nalls continues to operate XZ439 successfully and it was recently the highlight of the Fair St Louis air show. The USMC gets about 1,000 request each year for Harrier appearances at air shows, more than for the USN Blue Angels and the USAF Thunderbirds combined, but can only satisfy about 12. Consequently Art has no trouble finding slots; they come to him.
    A Sea Harrier FA2 is on display at the Tate Modern gallery in London. It is suspended with its nose pointing straight up. Apparently only in that way can its beauty be appreciated, and that makes our creation a work of art credited to the ‘sculptor‘! 
Sea Fury News

    The Fly Navy Heritage Trust has formed the company Naval Aviation Ltd through which the FNHT can acquire assets and trade. Through the generous support of a benefactor a Sea Fury T20 two seater, VX281, has been bought. Its primary role will be to familiarise pilots before they fly the Trust’s single seat FB11. Its secondary role will be as a substitute at air displays for the FB11 should it be unserviceable.
