It proved how incompetent British political parties are to have not kept the Harrier jump jets as they could have simply been given current missiles as that's what really changes to be up to date the platform doesn't matter that much and it's a reliable tried and tested fighter jet instead the idiots went and bought a load of very expensive F,35s which has had problems and people have said is not that good

Echoing a previous comment - I only recently found your channel and subscribed - Thank you for doing it - I used to travel from Leeds with friends frequently to Alconbury, Wyton, Mildenhall , Lakenheath etc in the late 1970's and through the 1980's - did do the majority of Air Fetes from 1979 through to 1989. We used to camp at various sites - normally where you are filming from until the blocked it off for cars and then we started to us B&B's - one was a pub which near Judes Ferry. Happy Days

Great to see the harriers (by any name) for 1 last time. A fantastic battle tested machine. I thought that Mildenhall was going to close some years ago. Like a previous poster, I attended the fantastic air shows (at least 7 times). The atmosphere was fantastic and thd sheer variety of displays electric.

The Harriers are the Stars,I used to See Them in and Off when i Worked at Linton on Ouse,They Have to Have Distilled Water Filled Up As They Use it To Cool the Engine Intake When Hovering,I Still Think there Better than That F35,You Watch That and its All over the Place in a Hover Yet The Harrier is Rock Steady,British Engineering Was Better.

"They Have to Have Distilled Water Filled Up As They Use it To Cool the Engine Intake When Hovering"(sic) Incorrect. The distilled water is injected into the combustion chamber and turbine not the intake. A number of conditions - ambient, payload, etc. - dictate when water injection will be utilized and it is frequently done so during takeoff not the hover during recovery.
