Harrier Heritage Centre

Does the Harrier Hertiage Centre at Wittering exsist :S :S

There's reported to be photographs of the HHC but I can't find them anywhere on the web and, I take it that its' already got a GR1, GR3 and T4.

It does. Not seen it myself, but know someone who has. As with all good things, the RAF plans to keep it hidden.

Most certainly it exists, it's in the old 4 Sqn Hangar in the middle of camp and contains the GR1 Facsimile, GR3 that was at the gate, a T4 that was at the Sqn and a GR7 plus lots of photographs and memerobilia! ;)

:halo: You could always come and see NAMs V-TOL Heritage – Meteor FR9 / RB108 test bed through to the Sea Harrier ZA176 / Pegasus exhibits.

This link contains details of ZA176, which is now displayed at Newark – this includes its Falklands service and the ‘Alraigo incident’.

Or check out some trials footage etc for both items via this Ap http://empedia.info/maps/28" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hi NAM Updater, I know you guys have a Sea Harrier but I just thought, shame you never got your hands on an RAF Harrier GR.3/5/7 or 9, or one of the trainer variants, now that would have been so cool and would have meant you would have had V-TOL Heritage up to date with at least one RAF Harrier type in the Museum.
