Meet the author: Christopher Budgen, with his first volume published under our Air World imprint, Hawker's Secret Cold War Airfield – Dunsfold: Home of the Hunter and Harrier. **Available to order now with 20% off the RRP.** 📖 His father and two uncles all served with the RAF during and after the Second World War. Chris followed his father into employment at Dunsfold in the 1970s, initially working on RAF and export Hawks before moving on to Harrier and Sea Harrier. A move to Development saw him become involved in the launch of the Sea Harrier FRS.2 and the HS.125 flying test-bed, as well as numerous trials on the Harrier GR.5 and GR.7.  ✈️ The author of several books on the history of the area and an authority on Hawker aircraft and Dunsfold, Chris is currently engaged as archivist at @BrooklandsMuseum specializing in Hawker and successor companies. Having spent 21 years working at Dunsfold, his knowledge allows him to shine a light onto aspects of the company and airfield not widely recognized. Given his family’s close links to the land upon which Dunsfold was subsequently built, Chris is well-placed to tell the story of this previously closed and secretive community. • #MeetTheAuthor #AuthorsOfInstagram #Aviation #History #Bookstagram #NewBook #Hardback #NonFiction #ColdWar #DunsfoldAerodrome #PostWW2Aviation #HawkerAircraft #SeaHawk #RAF #RoyalAirForce #HawkerSiddeley #Harrier #SeaHarrier #Hawk #Hunter #Brooklands #BritishAerospace #Surrey #AirWorld https://www.instagram.com/p/CGSr2ZiBtiQ/?igshid=166pqpv14t8s9

Striking for the sovereign Argentina thought they could take the Falklands from the Brits. They could. Argentina thought they could keep the Falklands from the Brits. They absolutely could not. A large portion of that inability was due to the Sea Harrier. British warships sailed the length of the globe and smashed the Argentine forces in the area. Sea Harriers were responsible for interdicting…

Royal Naval School of Flight Deck Operations BAe Sea Harrier FA.2's XZ440/DD40 and ZE690/DD90 pirouette around eachother as they show themselves to the RNAS Culdrose crowd.

XZ440/DD40 was one of three delevopment airframes built prior to the production of the initial FRS.1 batch, later converted to the updated FA.2 standard of which ZE690/DD90 behind is from.

A second production batch of new-build FA.2's were eventually ordered as both attrition replacements for those SHAR's lost during the Falklands conflict and to boost the fleet numbers for operational needs.
