The final flight of the UK Harriers is scheduled to occur in mid December 15th-17th, depending on a weather. It is intended to be a 16 ship formation.

Nice shot guys. Now, anyone of you guys have good walk around pics of the RAF Harrier that was painted in Snow Camo? I have a kit that I like to build in this scheme but now sure what marking it carried. So, any pics will be nice. TIA

They carried normal markings and care was taken so that any important marking was not overpainted with white. In the last Snow Falcon mission (I think it was 2006) the following aircraft were used:

1 Squadron

ZD379 27

ZG531 85

ZD435 47

ZG505 76

ZG474 64

4 Squadron

ZG510 81

ZG530 84

The white areas were similar but different for each aircraft. You should try to find pictures for the particular aircraft you want to model.

Thank you for the information Spejic. Now, I can start my search on which a/c I want to do. I wonder if the white were simpily spraied over main color like what the RAF with their jets in DS or did they strip the jet down completely and then painted the new snow scheme. Again, thanks for the info. :thumbsup:

It was a temporary white over the normal paint. After Snow Falcon was over, the aircraft still carried the paint for a while, but it weathered off quickly. There are pictures of some of the aircraft in this condition on Airliners.net.

It has become old hat, but when Jmel goes hunting with his camera the results are always fantastic; no different this time, Great pix Jake. I've always loved the Harrier series of attack aircraft, but when I say this bird is packin...I mean its' got some very serious Arse punting onboard...scroll down and look at pic #8..my first thought was :jaw-dropping:
