100 years of the RAF
Pictured are six Pre-production Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.1s pictured at the manufacturers test facility at Dunsfold aerodrome, Surrey, in 1968.
The first RAF squadron to be equipped with the Harrier GR.1, No. 1 Squadron, started to convert to the aircraft at RAF Wittering in April 1969.
During the Harriers service the RAF positioned the bulk of the aircraft in West Germany to defend against a potential invasion of Western Europe by the Warsaw Pact forces; the unique abilities of the Harrier allowed the RAF to disperse their forces away from vulnerable airbases.
