Hmm, I wonder if you can shoe horn a Rolls Royce Pegasus engine into a roadster? Now that would be fun!

A sad day indeed :(

I remember the Harrier well, I served in the Falklands war on the hospital ship, we had a helicopter pad on the ship that was only designed to land helicopters, there was a Harrier that needed to land "Quickly" & we were the closest hard surface for the pilot to put it down ( us or the sea ), safely landed but melted the helicopter pad :eek:

Just like the demise of the British Merchant Navy, the Harrier has gone, makes one wonder what would happen if we needed them quick like in "82" :rolleyes:

cheers
