FOR sale, one careful owner, complete service history and repaired after a bit of a bump – a 730mph Harrier Jump Jet.


All right, it’s missing an engine, but the legendary British fighter could make you a garden feature.

The Harrier GR7 (ZD462) is being offered to the highest bidder after spending its twilight years as a training plane for mechanics at RAF Cosford, near Telford, Shropshire.

The two-seater will have trouble fitting into most garages. It is 46ft long and has a wingspan of 26ft.

A new GR7 would cost millions, but used, engineless, Harriers have fetched just over £60,000.

The British-invented Harriers became famous in the 1982 Falklands War.

This particular jet’s history is not so illustrious. It came to RAF Cosford after crashing into the sea in 1996. The pilot safely ejected. It is being sold by the Disposal Services Authority, which sells items for the armed forces.
