DERA's 'Active Control Technology' test-bed BAe Harrier T.4 XW175 in the static park at the RNAS Yeovilton 'Air Day' on 15th July 2000.
With it's lineage going back to the 'Flying Bedstead' the unique VTOL Harrier was developed from the earlier P.1127 and then the Kestrel. XW175 was the second two-seater Harrier ever to fly and has been used for the VAAC programme for many years down at Boscombe Down.
