Harrier GR3 ZD669/A 3Sqn RAF Gütersloh/ZDF1987 

The pilot of this Harrier is my father, Ian MacDonald :) I am very proud! xxx

Fantastic aircraft, fantastic greeting, fantastic British engineers.

The acceleration at the end of the vid from the hover to forward flight was incredible!

I was on 4 Sqn in the late 70's, and it made me so proud to see them flying into the deployed sites.

i live near the airport gütersloh and when i was a child, i often drove with my bike to the airport and looked at the starting and landing airplanes. last year, they appointed the air traffic forever and the airport will be closed in the next years, when all raf- soldiers leave the airport. in my mind it´s a pitty and sometimes i missed the power sound of harrier, lynx, tanks and co..... :( ich wohne in der nähe vom gütersloher flughafen und als ich klein war, bin ich immer mit dem rad dort hin gefahren und habe den flugzeugen beim starten und landen zu geschaut. letztes jahr haben die den flugbetrieb für immer eingestellt und der flughafen wird geschlossen, wenn alle raf-soldaten abgezogen sind. meiner meinung nach schade. manchmal vermisse ich den sound von harrier, lynx, panzer und co. :(

Great demonstration of Harrier hovering, also the ZDF garden looks like the Teletubbies garden LOL. 0:52

One of the best Harrier hovering display videos I've seen on RU-vid, or ever.

I worked on that aircraft back in 87 :)

kaum in worte zu fassen wie geil des Teil ist - man sowas wollte ich immer fliegen...! absolut stark was unsere Freunde von der Insel da geleistet haben!

Harrier Gr3 is the world's most beautiful aircraft

Went on field exercise twice a year. We used to annoy the pilots with the CVR(T) and the noise and also mess they made.

amazing footage of an original type harrier gr3. the original little british one seems to move in a much more spritley manner than the newer bigger gr5 onwards type

My brother was stationed in Guterslöh around this time. He was in charge of an engine team so he was partly responsible for the hover.

Awesome.. we have a GR3 here in NZ.. thanks 👍🇳🇿

Shearier need stop lavi baby weekly attack by Rudini didnt Georgia buying tiket or more dephankam angry to orde lama or download satelit antariksa Nasional Amerika serikat comes v rules stoll me

@gmarina789 You have every right to be proud. Superb flying.

1:44 sagen die immer, ganz komisch. Linderg war der erste der SOLO über den Atlantik flog, aber nicht der erste. Die ersten waren Alcock & Brown... 8 jahre vorher.

@myrkul777 yeah i completely understand what you mean, my dad flies with BA now, and i don't get how he does it - harrier flying for the win! my dad is in athens at the moment but i'll tell him about your message when he gets back, and i'll let you know what he says. good to hear from you :)

Your Teletubbie-Video, well done!!

@myrkul777 wow that is awesome! i shall let my dad know! what does you dad do now, is he still in the forces? :)

Seen plenty of those displays when i was young......mustve been very difficult for the presenters to talk cos boy was they loud when hovering

Imagine combining the Harrier GR3 with 1980's German Porn. That'd be ace.

Can we have those back instead of the appalling f35. The Pegasus engine concept was far superior to the moronic lift fan.

Tres cool!

@gmarina789 Nah, quit years ago! Been a commercial airline pilot for Cathay Pacific for the last 15-20 years now - how someone can go from the excitement of flying Harriers to Airbuses is beyond me! He was in 4Sqn btw, but was based in Gutersloh at that time - he said the name of your dad rings a bell, but it was a whole lifetime ago now!

@gmarina789 Our dads knew each other - Roger Robertshaw, he used to fly with your dad!

I worked on Harriers for a year in South Wales, They are not the best to work on tbh, Spend the first week cleaning the oily crap off the underside lol

Heutzutage unmöglich😅
