Wow, I've never seen a Harrier for sale before.  I'm glad my OH and boys are away and can't see it, they would immediately be setting up a "Harrier fund" to save up!

Had it been a bit cheaper I would have had it as it isn't far away from me and I could have towed it behind my Daewoo Matiz into my back yard ;D

Being 'Navy', maybe it got a bit rusty??

Want one!

Grew up in a low fly training zone and always promised myself I would buy a jet when I go my driving licence   ;D

Now, has anyone surfed e-bay for a couple of Rolls Royce Jet Engines ( work get sniffy about us looking at e-bay).  I have a set of spanners & I'm sure I could fit a couple of engines over the weekend

On local news last night that some bloke up in the Lake District has just bought a Lightning Jet, and had it put in his back garden.  If I did that I'd have to knock the house down to get it in!

Good excuse not to weed though.
