Following on from the MiG here is my 1/24 Airfix Sea Harrier that I did as ZA192 from the Falklands conflict, made famous as the one that got hit in the tail on the first mission against Stanley. With the help of the Harrier SIG I have modelled it after it was repaired (patched) and further on in the conflict as it's last mission when it was lost to a technical failure after take off. The aircraft was lost shortly after take off where it is said that one or more bomb fuse was incorrectly installed in that once forward airflow started the propellor turning and some seconds later the bomb exploded on the pylon killing the pilot (Lt Cdr Batt) instantly with the loss of the aircraft. Photos were sent to Flt Lt Morgan who flew the damaged aircraft on day one and thought it was great, also the killed Pilots son got in touch to say it was a great tribute.
