Welcome

 
21st October 2000 witnessed the 40th anniversary of the first flight of the Hawker P.1127 (right) - forerunner of the international Harrier family. To mark the event this website was launched, which we hope to build into the best Harrier resource available in any medium. See below for more about us.

Communication update

Further to the news earlier this year about spam e-mail hampering your messages getting to the Editor, the e-mail system has finally succumbed to the avalanche of spam that the popularity of this site has attracted. For several months access to our e-mail system was intermittent, and a final wave of spam so exceeded our storage limits that the account was automatically deleted by our supplier. With the e-mail provider unable to add security settings that could guarantee all genuine message get through while blocking spam we have now changed provider, so hope to resume a reasonable service once again. If you sent a message that has not received a reply, please re-send and we will endeavour to catch up on the replies.

Apologies also for the continuing lack of new updates to the site, brought about by the ongoing need to earn a living and other commitments. Thank you again for continuing to visit us.

About this site

Harrier.org.uk is dedicated to developing the most comprehensive, informative and entertaining English language website devoted to the Harrier. We hope to build the site using both our own resources and those of our visitors who both share our vision and who are able to help us in fulfilling it. From its origins as the Hawker P.1127 to today's Boeing/BAE SYSTEMS Harrier II+ and beyond, we will have something for everybody interested in the Harrier. For an overview of the site, visit our Contents page.

You may have noticed the row of flags at the top of the screen. By clicking on one of these the site can be translated into French, German, Spanish, Russian, Italian or Japanese. This service is provided by Google, whose banner will appear on the translated page. The Russian and Japanese translations may require you to download their character set - a prompt should appear on the screen.

Most of our pages carry advertising from a company called Burst! Media (www.burstmedia.com). The reason for this is to improve the service we offer you - in return for us carrying their adverts, Burst! provide us with detailed analysis of how people use our site (but not details of who you are etc., in line with our Privacy Policy). Burst! also gather additional information from a voluntary survey that can be accessed at the foot of this page. They also provide some income to Harrier.org.uk in return for their advertising. This money will be used to help cover the hosting costs of this site.

You can get in touch by e-mailing us at: editor@harrier.org.uk. Thank you for visiting - enjoy the site!
