The Hawker Siddeley Harrier from the outset was designed to be used without the need for long, stationary runways; a prime target of any enemy in time of war.
With the Harrier GR.1 entering service with 1 (F) Squadron of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1969, it brought a new dimension to the application of fixed-wing, fast jet aircraft.
From the early 1970’s the RAF formulated plans to operate the Harrier from dispersed locations, primarily from its bases in West Germany, close to the border of Warsaw Pact countries. Over the following years the RAF Germany Harrier Force perfected the operational effectiveness of the aircraft and would have been well placed had the Cold War gone ‘hot’.
This Documentary, from 1978, is an excellent look at dispersed operations of the legendary Harrier. Showing a deployment of Harrier GR.3’s and support equipment & staff from RAF 4 Squadron, under Wing Commander Tony Chaplain, to temporary airfields during a NATO tactical evaluation exercise (TACEVAL) from their home base at RAF Gutersloh.
