Found that one the other day to establish whether XW267 was genuine.
It is a Harrier T4 and lives outside the former Chilwell Barracks in Notts. Opposite Tesco where I was going
Should have posted here :sad:

Useful site thanks for posting John.
Ian, I'm intrigued to learn there's a Harrier in Nottingham. Don't suppose you have any pictures?

No pictures of my own, but if you go to the website John posted, then Aircraft/Harrier/XW267 there is a photo there and pretty much what it looked like on Thursday.
And it is visible in Google Earth at:
52°54'34.67"N 1°15'21.55"W

what I liked is that little Wicko JB1 which was a one off - impressed into the RAF and flew as a liason/hack - and still flying to this day - and she looks beautiful too,
