<p>c/n 712229.
Built 1986. This was the third to last Harrier GR.3 built, and was one of a batch of four built by BAe in the 1980's to cover attrition following the Falklands War.
It wears the markings of 4sqn RAF, complete with special tail markings. While this is a genuine Harrier scheme, I believe this individual machine served only with RAF Wittering based 233OCU (Operational Conversion Unit) coded '3E' and later '3A'.
Now far from home, it is on display in Hangar 2 at the Yanks Air Museum, Chino, California, USA.
