British Aerospace Harrier GR.3 ‘DD-69’ [XZ969]

c/n 712205
Built 1980
On retirement she first went to the Royal Naval Engineering College at Manadon, then in May 1995 moved to RNAS Culdrose for use by the School of Flight Deck Operations (SFDO).
She appeared in the static display at the 2003 Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) held at RAF Fairford, as part of the ‘100 Years of Flight’ exhibition. This was not her first Fairford visit, however, as she had previously been in the static display at the 1987 event (then without the ‘Royal’ and simply called IAT) as an active 4 sqn aeroplane from RAF Gutersloh in Germany.
After departing from Fairford in 2003, she went back to the SFDO, but this time as a resident of the fire pits at RNAS Predannack, to be used for fire and rescue training.
This photo was taken with a long lens from a public footpath which passes across the edge of the airfield.
RNAS Predannack, Cornwall, UK.
