I don't.


The flight deck & hangar space a Sea Harrier consumes is not much less than a Buccaneer or a Phantom and it is a lot less capable. So why have Sea Harriers when you can have more Phantoms and/or Buccaneers?

  • A Sea Harrier FRS Mk 1 with its nose folded was 42ft 3in x 25ft 3in.
  • The folded dimensions of a Buccaneer were 51ft 10in x 19ft 11in.
  • The folded dimensions of a Phantom were 52ft 3in x 27ft 7in. (I've estimated the length by measuring the line drawing in Putnam's British Naval Aircraft since 1912).
