Hawker Harrier GR.3 XW917 has been returned to its position as 'gate guardian' at the NATS Air Traffic Control Centre in Swanwick, Hants, following refurbishment by Yorkshire's Jet Art Aviation (JAA). Swanwick's Harrier was originally built as the second GR.1A model fitted with a Pegasus 10/Mk 102 engine and first flew from Dunsfold, Surrey, in June 1971. It travelled to 4(AC) Squadron at Wildenrath in Germany in August of that year before being transferred to 3(F) Squadron in May 1972, where it remained until its retirement.
