British Aerospace Sea Harrier FA.2 ‘XZ497 / 1’

c/n 41H-912021, l/n P1, P33
Built in 1982 as a Sea Harrier FRS.1 for the Royal Navy. Served with 801 and 899 Naval Air Squadrons before being converted to an FA.2 in 1988. As the first such conversion she then went to the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment (A&AEE) at Boscombe Down for trials, but would later return to 801 squadron before being retired.
She arrived here in March 2005 and remains ‘out to grass’ along with sister aircraft ZE698.
