In the Harrier you could never take your hands off the controls when in vertical flight as it was like riding a unicycle, all about balance. With the Lightning, if you take your hands off when hovering, it stays where it is and waits for you to tell it what to do next. The wonders of modern technology!

Yesterday i see RAF and RAN have destroyed 26 fighters jets in air to air combat whose 24 by Sea Harriers during Falklands 1982 !
On the fund enough limited fighter for weapons, short legs but well served with last AIM-9 variant ( Argentinians don' t have ) and ofc good drivers do great job !

Since the end of WW2 in 1945, there have been exactly zero air to air kills by RAF aircraft, all postwar kills have been by Fleet Air Arm Fighters deployed from Aircraft Carriers, one in Korea (piston engine Sea Fury against a Mig 15), the rest in the Falklands by Sea Harriers. To be fair the RAF have destroyed a number of enemy aircraft... which were parked on the aprons of enemy air bases at the time. Doesn't qualify as air to air. Neither does the handful of occasions they shot down one of their own (A harrier and a Jaguar spring to mind) which had continued flying after the pilot had ejected and posed a risk to civilians if they were left to run out of fuel. stk0147.jpg 1c74601d4871cf5a0c48cf6253803739.jpg
