Default Tornado and Harrier for auction.

I would dearly love to have these parked in my rear garden

Quote:
Two ex-RAF jets could find their way into private collectors' hands after being put up for sale with no reserve.

A 1976 Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR3 jump-jet and a 1988 Panavia Tornado F3 are being sold at Silverstone Auctions in Northamptonshire this weekend.

The Harrier, which served during the Cold War and in the Falklands, is in almost flight-worthy condition and comes complete with ejector seat.

Auctioneers said it was a "unique opportunity" to acquire "RAF history".

Just let them have a seat in it and then pull the black and yellow handle.
