Anyone know what the fuel burn in the hover would be? (500 lb/min in a Harrier II...)

As it's #JumpJetJanuary - here's the HUFTM Harrier in action beneath the Goliath Gantry showing Plenum Chamber Burning in action. A huge thank you to Keith Forrest who sent it us and the R-R Image Media Team for allowing him to do so.

There’s nothing like that “new fighter” smell!

Our next 3 F-35B Lightning II aircraft have departed the @LockheedMartin factory flown by pilots from @OC617Sqn and @OC207Sqn. This increases the UK fleet to 21 F-35s thanks to @DefenceES @theF35JPO and many others. Looking forward to their arrival in the UK over the coming days. 2
