ZH813/DD, BAe Sa Harrier F/A2 (CN NB18) operated by the Royal Naval School of Flight Deck Operations photographed in the static park at the RNAS Culdrose Air Day 2015. A new built F/A2, the aircraft entered service in January 1999 and was operated until March 2006 when it went into storage at RAF Shawbury. Delivered to the Fleet Air Arm Fire School, RNAS Predannak in December 2007, the machine had a lucky escape when reallocated to SFDO in January 2009 and remains current at Culdrose in 2023.

Various ex RAF Harrier GR.3s were employed by the Navy's SFDO there to train crews in Deck Handling for their Sea Harrier operations

 

When surplus to requirements the airframe was demobbed and scrapped but the cockpit was saved and moved around various locations and AFAIK still exists somewhere in the UK

ZE692/DD, BAe Sa Harrier F/A2 (CN B51/P21) operated by the Royal Naval School of Flight Deck Operations photographed in the static park at the RNAS Culdrose Air Day 2015. Originally delivered as an FRS-1 in October 1988, the aircraft was upgraded to F/A2 standard in 1993/4. Following the type's withdrawal from service in 2006, the aircraft joined the SFDO and remains current at Culdrose in 2023. Image by Lindsay Potts.

Great looking thing! It's being used to train Seagoing groundcrew at SFDO, Culdrose. Used to be known as the School of Aircraft Handling, now School of Flight Deck Operations.

All black BAe (HS) Harrier T.8N ZB603/DD/T03 makes a wonderfully nostalgic sight as she taxies along the runway during the rain soaked 2016 RNAS Culdrose Air Day.

 

Painted all black for high-visibility, the Royal Navy had several of these two-seaters in service at RNAS Yeovilton, used to train their Sea Harrier pilots in the art of VTOL operations.

 

Thankfully this one still has life in her as a ground trainer for the Navy's future deck handling crews.

Unfortunately, despite some already published Airshow listings - the 2017 Culdrose Air Day has been cancelled - due, it seems to the Navy's imminent delivery of their two new Aircraft Carriers. Because of this and the need for the station to concentrate on their service introduction, the decision has been taken to cancel rather than be distracted by organising their annual Air Show.

 

One recent report even goes as far as saying that there may be an amalgamation of interests into a single Naval Air Day in the future instead.

 

Add to that - all this follows on from their ill-fated 2016 Air Day when the weather didn't play ball and low cloud and rain enveloped the Station all day - grounding all flying activities bar the recovery of some of the based Hawk traffic!

Harrier T.8 ZB603/DDT03, now in use with the Culdrose based School of Flight Deck Operations is seen taxying during the 2016 event - a welcome sight to the gathered crowd - especially as two of the SFDO's Sea Harriers made up a trio.

 

Several of these ex Fleet Air Arm's trainers used to operate out of RNAS Yeovilton before the demise of the Navy's front-line VTOL Sea Harrier fleet.

 

Now used for deck handler training, another of it's counterparts ZD993 was exported to the US recently with the aim of getting her back in the air as a stablemate to former USMC pilot and Test Pilot Art Nalls' US registered Sea Harrier FA.2 that he currently flies on the US Airshow circuit.

ZD 667 at the Bentwaters Cold War Museum in Suffolk in the markings it wore whilst assigned to IV (AC) Sqn. at RAF Gütersloh in West Germany during the late 1980's.

 

ZD 667 was the first of a batch of four Harrier GR.3's built for the RAF as a stop-gap whilst the second generation Harrier GR.5, later converted to GR. 7 and GR. 9, were entering service in the late 80's. As a consequence of this, ZD 667 was actually a newer aircraft than several of the Harrier GR.9's that were in service with the RAF up until December 2010.

 

ZD 667 only spent 8 years in frontline service with the RAF before being retired. Following it's retirement from flying with the RAF in 1994, ZD 667 was transferred to the Royal Navy at the School of Aircraft Handling (SAH), RNAS Culdrose.

 

In 1999 ZD 667 was used by 2 School of Flight Deck Operations (SFDO) for training Fleet Air Arm groundcrew in the art of handling aircraft on carrier decks. With the loss of the Fleet Air Arm’s fixed wing component, due to the retirement of the BAe Sea Harrier, there was no longer a requirement for fixed wing deck handling training.

 

During May 2007, ZD 667 was moved to Culdrose’s satellite airfield at RNAS Predannack where it was used by the Fleet Air Arm Fire School for fire and crash rescue training.

 

In December 2012 ZD 667 was purchased by Everett Aero and subsequently bought by the Bentwaters Cold War Museum in February 2013.

Based with the Royal Navy's SFDO at RNAS Culdrose in Cornwall, these two ex RAF Harriers were used for training Deck Handlers in the art of marshalling and handling aircraft aboard the Navy's Aircraft Carriers

 

Seen here at the 2005 'Air Day', to Port is two-seater T.7 XZ145/ DD45 and keeping station to Starboard is GR.3 XV783/DD83

 

Prior to these, the school used a variety of out-of service airframes such as Seahawks and Gnats and when these Harriers had fulfilled their useful life they were pensioned off to a fiery fate down the road at the Navy's Fire School at Predannack

 

Replacing these VTOL machines were ex RN Sea Harriers and now with the advent of the 'new' F-35 Lightning II 'about' to enter naval service some full-scale F-35 'mock-ups' have been acquired to augment the Sea Harriers

c/n 712205

Built 1980

On retirement she first went to the Royal Naval Engineering College at Manadon, then in May 1995 moved to RNAS Culdrose for use by the School of Flight Deck Operations (SFDO).

She appeared in the static display at the 2003 Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) held at RAF Fairford, as part of the ‘100 Years of Flight’ exhibition. This was not her first Fairford visit, however, as she had previously been in the static display at the 1987 event (then without the ‘Royal’ and simply called IAT) as an active 4 sqn aeroplane from RAF Gutersloh in Germany.

After departing from Fairford in 2003, she went back to the SFDO, but this time as a resident of the fire pits at RNAS Predannack, to be used for fire and rescue training.

c/n 61.394

Built by Sikorsky in 1968 as a standard SH-3D for use as a pattern for the Westland built Sea Kings. Initially used for weapons and handling development by Westlands. By 1981 she was with RAE Farnborough and wearing their standard ‘Raspberry Ripple’ colour scheme. She last flew on 31st March 1995 and in October that year she joined the engineering school at HMS Sultan in Gosport as an instructional airframe.

She was transfered to the School of Flight Deck Operations (SFDO) at RNAS Culdrose in 2003 and in June 2017 she was moved (by helicopter) to the school’s fire pits at nearby Predannack, for fire and rescue training.

This photo was taken with a long lens from a public footpath which passes across the edge of the airfield.

c/n WA.642

Built 1969 as an HAS.1 and delivered in early 1970. Converted to an HAS.2 in 1979 and then converted to an HAS.6 in 1991.

She was written off at Prestwick on 21st July 1993 when the tail rotor shaft failed in flight. This caused her to fall to the ground and spin around, collapsing the undercarriage.

Repairs were not carried out and instead she joined the engineering school at HMS Sultan in Gosport as an instructional airframe.

She was transfered to the School of Flight Deck Operations (SFDO) at RNAS Culdrose in 2003 and during 2014 she was moved to the school’s fire pits at nearby Predannack, for fire and rescue training.

The following information is from The Helicopter Museum website:-

 

“The Wessex HAS MK.3 followed on from the earlier Mk.1 version in 1965, introducing an advanced Louis Newmark duplex auto-hover flight control system, which allowed the pilot to confidently hover over the sea at night and in bad visibility without having to reference a visual horizon. The Mk3 also introduced a new search radar in a dorsal dome causing it to be nick-named the 'Camel', as well as improved dunking sonar equipment and an uprated Napier Gazelle engine providing more power in the hover and hot/high situations. All but three prototype HAS Mk.3 were converted from production Mk.1 Wessex.

XM328 was originally an early Wessex Mk1, first flown at Yeovil in March 1960 and used for early trials including development of an autopilot and other installations planned for the later Mk3. In June 1966 it returned to the factory for full HAS Mk3 conversion, flying again on 21st February 1968 and being delivered to No.737 Squadron at RNAS Portland in July 1968. Over the next several years it also served aboard HMS Norfolk, HMS Glamorgan and HMS Antrim (during the Icelandic 'Cod Wars'). It also spent time in Northern Ireland on surveillance duties in support of ant-terrorism activities.

The Falklands Crisis in April 1982 saw XM328 allocated as a reserve aircraft and in late May 1982 it was repainted dark grey and coded 406/AN to replace sister aircraft XP142 which had been severely damaged whilst operating from HMS Antrim in San Carlos Water. Meanwhile the vessel returned to the UK at the end of the conflict but redeployed with XM328 in November 1982. The aircraft remained with the ship in the South Atlantic until it returned to the UK in April 1983.

XM328 was delivered direct to NASU Yeovilton for overhaul and returned to No 737 Sqdn at Portland on 12 September, coded O6/AN. It remained at Portland until 19 January 1984 when it carried out the last official flight of a Wessex HAS Mk.3 and was delivered to RNAY Wroughton for storage.

On 22 April 1985, it was allocated to the School of Flight Deck Operations (SFDO) at RNAS Culdrose, carrying the nickname 'The Sow' and allocated the Ground Instruction Serial A2727 (later changed to A2644) arriving there on 30 April, being finally retired and acquired by The Helicopter Museum in May 2004. Restoration to display standard was completed in 2016. Total flying hours in service 4523.10”
