: : 1) Anybody know how much of Sea Hawks WV903 and XE339 ar

: When I saw them 18 months ago they were complete fuselage

Whilst visiting 899 sqn earlier this year I drove past these fuselages. They are in faily good condition and I believe they are stored for the FAAHF, not for the fire department. There were three Harrier hulks on the opposite side of the peri track, which are used for the fire training.
