Yep added to my report. Got a good few pictures of the CRL with BOL on there too. It supporting Skyflash though, very nice find. I was just speculating it would support a range of missiles.
Well, that’s my 4 Harrier books finished.
Now onto one that isn’t Aircraft Specific.
Still Falklands war, but from a British Spy stationed in Argentina in the run up to, and during the conflict.
I think we need to start a book club on here 🤔

Hottest take of them all. Wonder if imma get any books for christmas haha.
As mentioned on the archived Cobham site, Japan’s F-2As are also using CRL. If more proof were needed that it can launch Skyflash and other Sparrow derivatives, Japan actively uses it to mount AIM-7M.
They use it for their AAM-4 as well
Interestingly the Jaguar GR.3 we’ve seen with ASRAAM was also using CRL on the over-wing pylon instead of the usual LAU-7

That would be very funny ngl. Uk mod spending 3 years worth of budget to slap DU plates in the SHar. Only for it to fall into the river
