Anyone know the tail nos for crashed RAF Harriers since '96? I'm doing
some
research into the area.

I know of the following crashes (but not the tail nos), although there
must
be mo

GR7s:
Nevada 99
Laarbruch 99
Another Laarbruch (99?)
Wittering 99-ish
Boston 99
Coldstream 00
Lowestoft 02

T10s:
Boscombe 01?
Wittering 03

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Further to my earlier post. My AFM copies are not complete - ditched a lot a
few years back.

From UK Parliament questions:

"RAF Aircraft Crashes

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what were the causes
of the crashes of (b) RAF Harrier GR7 over Rollins Air Force Base, Nevada
on 29 January 1999, (c) RAF Harrier GR7 over RAF Laarbruck, Germany on 4
February 1999, (h) RAF Harrier GR7 south of Boston on 9 July 1999, RAF
Harrier GR7 over Coldstream on 14 July 1999"

So, this would give the following match-ups:

ZD326 GR.7 Written-Off 04.02.99 - RAF Laarbruck
ZD345 GR.7 Written-Off 09.07.99 - Boston
ZG532 GR.7 Written-Off 14.07.99 - Coldstream
ZG856 GR.7 Written-Off 29.01.99 - Nevada

The GR.7 that came down in the sea of Lowestoft at the airshow was:

ZD464 GR.7 Written-Off 02.08.02 - Lowestoft.
