ALMOST TOUCHDOWN

The pilot gently winds the power off as the Sea Harrier descends the last few feet to the Yeovilton runway. A large heat haze is building under the rear of the jet as the aircraft approaches the ground, the aircraft has four jet nozzles, two each side but only the rear one’s are hot. The forward two duct cold air bypassed at the front of the engine. The aircraft is displaying colourful tail art celebrating its upcoming appearance at RIAT.
