Harrier SIG
Our aim – To be your first port of call for Harrier model and research questions
“Harriers are complex beasts” We have a wide network of Harrier enthusiasts, historians, modellers, serving and ex-RAF/RN pilots and maintainers to share P.1127, Kestrel and Harrier information and knowledge.
