Beschreibung
English: Harriers from the Joint Force Harrier (JFH) are lined up following a ceremony to mark the retirement of the famous aircraft after 41 years of service.

A formation of 16 Harriers took off from RAF Cottesmore and took to the skies of Lincolnshire.

Brought into service in 1969 and based at RAF Wittering, this British aircraft was designed to take off and land both vertically and on a short runway.

Well known for its role in the Falklands War, the Harrier went on to serve in many other conflicts including in Bosnia and Iraq in the 1990s.

The RAF and Royal Navy Harrier squadrons joined forces in 2000 to form Joint Force Harrier, based at RAF Cottesmore. These combined Harrier squadrons served in Sierra Leone, the second Gulf War and most recently Afghanistan.
