Description

Celebrate the legacy of a frontline naval veteran. This premium aviation art print features the British Aerospace Sea Harrier XZ497, capturing its iconic silhouette and service history in crisp detail.

The print tracks the fascinating journey of this specific airframe: from its first flight in February 1982 and early carrier trials aboard HMS Illustrious, through its 1991 FA2 modernization conversion at Dunsfold, to its frontline service with 800 and 801 Naval Air Squadrons before its retirement in 2006.
