Little did we know at the time, but this was to be the last public demonstration by a British Harrier in Scotland. In the recent SDSR (Strategic Defence and Security Review), the British Government axed the faithful, iconic Harrier as part of its cost-cutting measures. The type was totally withdrawn from RAF service by April 2011. This photo is copyright © Mark McEwan, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
