Default Sea Harrier vertically landing with unused missiles

Sea Eagles? Probably not.

Sea Harriers are known for having power difficulties in warm weather
and Sea Eagles are heavy.

There were a number of situations in Iraq where Sea Harriers were
unable to participate because of the weather which is why they are
being retired and replaced by RAF GR.xs.
