Sqn disbandment scheme "ZG477"
The GR.9 Harrier came into service in October 2006 and is a very updated improvement on the GR.7. The GR.9 is capable of a wider range of advanced precision weaponry, new communications along with upgraded airframes.
The British Joint Force Harriers are due for dress down (retirement) on December 16, 2010. This Harrier wears a special paint scheme marking the years this type of aircraft has been with No. 1 Squadron based at RAF Cottesmore. No.1 is the RAF's oldest squadron.
