Was stationed at RAF W. Raynham in the mid sixties. We used to watch them test the Harriers. They had them tethered to the ground, while they practiced vertical take-off. One day, a pilot flamed out at the end of his tether and crashed to the ground, spilling jet fuel. The whole front end caught fire, and they had one heck of a time getting the pilot out. One day on our airfield, saw six jets approaching...all Harriers. They came to a stop in mid-air, probably only 2,000 ft or less above me. Hovered for a minite then zipped off. Only time I had seen them in the air.</p></blockquote><p></p>
