Yeovilton - former home of the SHAR, produced one of the most gorgeous aircraft this afternoon.... The QinetiQ VAAC harrier! after arriving he did a few circuits and came through for a pass that I'm pretty sure was only just withing the legal speed over land limits.... (Our ears were ringing for quite a long time afterwards )



           


     


     


     


     


     

And it was helped along by the RAF

great shots!! i love the paint scheme on the first one. keep them coming!  ;D

I honestly prefer the Harrier GR7 Gr9 and B Models the T10 is ugly i reckon.

Wow awesome shots! Love the 1st one as well.

QinetiQ (pronounced Kinetic) is the new name of the former Defence & Research Agency (DERA)* after it was privatised a few years ago. The less said about that the better.

VAAC stands for Vectored-thrust Aircraft Advanced flight Control. Basically a fly-by-wire Harrier.

*PS. Better known as the world-famous Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough.

Outstanding! This is one cool looking plane when it's shot head-on, while departing straith up...

Less beautiful from every other angle, but hey, it's an icon.

Love the Qinetiq paint-scheme. Nicer than the dull grey RAF ones...

Mic., I was expecting a harrier, not a Harrier.

I love the Rasberry Ripple on the T.10, beautiful shots!  :)

Lovely pics, she put on a good show on the day

(By the way lads, it's an updated T2, not a T10 )
