Or for being carried on a low loader from Lancashire to South Gloucestershire...

Just found this. http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/lightning/...

Suspect the new owner might be a certain vacuum cleaner engineer who owns most of the surrounding countryside!

Is that the one Clarkson had in his garden for a while? If it is, I think it was also slated for a roundabout in Farnborough at one time too.

Have a look at the link I posted above Eric, I traced it by its registration.

I didn't know ejector seats worked when fired upside down under water! How did he float to the surface? It must have been a mess of rigging lines and canopy.


'The Harrier sitting in Dyson HQ’s car park has quite a story to tell. After flying 20 days straight without a break, Royal Air Force Wing Commander Mark Leakey crashed this Harrier into the Mediterranean Sea in November 1997. The lights on the HMS Invincible where he should have landed were blacked out and after coming in too steeply he was unable to adjust and plunged into the water.

Leakey passed out upon impact and when he came to, he realized he would need to eject from the stricken jet. Unfortunately, he didn’t know the plane had rolled onto its back, and he was fired directly down into the sea.

Thankfully he was rescued along with the Harrier. No longer operational, the Harrier was returned to the UK in January 2012.'
