EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.1 XV757 takes to the skies above RAF Wittering, showcasing the agility and power of this iconic British vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) jet. The image captures the Harrier in its element, as it climbs steeply into the clouds, leaving a trail of condensation in its wake. XV757 was delivered to the Harrier Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) in October 1970, when the unit was still known as the Central Flying School (CFS). The Harrier OCU was formed to provide training for pilots on the Harrier GR.1, the first operational variant of the Harrier jump jet. In this photograph, the Harrier is still adorned with the distinctive markings of the Harrier OCU, which were adopted when the unit transformed into 233 OCU in October 1972. The Harrier GR.1 was a versatile and innovative aircraft, capable of both vertical takeoff and short takeoff, as well as conventional horizontal takeoff and landing. It was designed and manufactured by Hawker Siddeley, a British aerospace company, and entered service with the Royal Navy and the British Army Air Corps in the late 1960s. The Harrier was a game-changer in military aviation, providing the UK with a flexible and agile aircraft that could operate from small and unprepared airfields, making it an invaluable asset in various military operations. This photograph is a testament to the Harrier's enduring legacy and the skill of the pilots who flew it. It captures a moment in time when the Harrier was still a new and innovative aircraft, and the men and women of the Harrier OCU were at the forefront of its development and deployment. The image is a reminder of the important role that RAF Wittering played in the history of the Harrier, and the crucial part that the Harrier OCU played in training the pilots who would go on to fly this remarkable aircraft in combat situations.
