Three Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR3s of No 1 Squadron RAF ranged (in the foreground) alongside seven Royal Navy British Aerospace Sea Harrier FR1s and a Sea King HAS.5 of 820 Naval Air Squadron on the flight deck of HMS HERMES, on the day that No 1 Squadron joined the ship in the South Atlantic. The first Harrier GR.3 is carrying a 1000lb laser-quided bomb (GBU-16 Paveway II) on its outer pylons. On the centre deck is Sea Harrier FRS.1 (XZ499) of 800 Naval Air Squadron, in which Lt Cdr Smith destroyed an Argentine Skyhawk.
