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.


Yes Sea Harrier FA2 does have that problem but what I want to know
about is FRS1.
