Harrier GR3 ZD670 '3C' 233 Operational Conversion Unit by Mark McEwan Via Flickr: 31 August 1991, RAF Leuchars Part of a small static display for 43 Squadron's 75th Anniversary Families Day. Typically, the day was blighted by sea haar rolling in from the North Sea and the small flying display was cancelled. When this shot was taken, 233 OCU was operating a mix of legacy Harrier GR3 and the new Harrier IIs (GR5) during the transition phase to the latter, hence the the 3* tailcode prefix. The code "P" can still be seen on the landing gear outrigger - evidence of its previous life with 4 Squadron at RAF Gütersloh in West Germany.
