Final farewell to our Sea Harrier
6:46pm Tuesday 28th March 2006 in Yeovil By Lyndsey Mayhew
THOUSANDS of Royal Navy workers and schoolchildren gathered at Yeovilton to bid a final farewell to the famous Sea Harrier Jump-Jets.
More than 1,000 personnel from the station and 50 children from Ilchester Primary School assembled on the field to spell out 'farewell' to the final Sea Harrier squadron to be de-commissioned at RNAS Yeovilton.
The move is part of the migration towards the Joint Force Harrier and the ceremony was a chance for people who have worked on the Harrier over the last 26 years to say goodbye.
