In 1980 the Royal Air Force demanded the seemingly impossible from Britain's aerospace engineers: an advanced short take-off/vertical landing (ASTOVL) multi-role fighter with supersonic capabilities.  Having made history in the 1960s with the Harrier GR.1 and GR.3 V/STOL fighter, Hawker's original design team - still based at Kingston-upon-Thames, but now working as part of the newly-nationalized British Aerospace (BAe) - captured lightning in a bottle with the P.1216.  Entering service in 1989 as the Peregrine, it was an immediate success with the RAF, the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm and the United States Marine Corps.  

This machine is a GR.1 strike variant - as indicated by the ARBS sensor cluster in the nose - and wears the markings of No. 54 Squadron which had only just finished converting from Jaguars when planning for Granby began. This example's load-out includes a TIALD (Thermal Imaging Airborne Laser Designator) pod under the fuselage and 2000 lb Paveway II laser guided bombs under each boom as well as the customary external tanks and wingtip Sidewinder AAMs.
