Long before the iconic Sea Harrier entered service with the British Royal Navy, various flight trials were undertaken aboard HMS Ark Royal IV by trials aircraft.
This video contains rare footage of one of these trials from the mid-1970's. Kindly supplied by former RAF/RN Phantom pilot, Chris Bolton, it is a unique chance to take a look at one of the numerous Harrier trials, with this one being undertaken by an aircraft from 1(F) sqn, RAF.
Keep an eye out for the forthcoming short-film, 'Arks Angels' which will feature a lot more of this rare footage provided by Chris Bolton, and will contain new interviews with air & ground crew.
Thank you for watching.
