1-2-3 Jump.....
Retired Royal Navy BAe Sea Harrier F/A.2 (ZH801) marked as ZH800/123 outside the FAA Museum at RNAS Yeovilton.
Along with a two seat Harrier T.8N and the Phantom - sister ship (ZH800) sits there as well marked as ZH801...........!
Why.....The reason is simple - this one was an '800' squadron bird but serialled ZH801 and the other was an '801' squadron machine with ZH800 so instead of repainting the whole airframe of each - they simply swapped the last digit of each serial on that lower dorsal finlet! Brilliant ...Naval initiative! :-)
