    The Brits abandoned work on the Harrier II from 1975 - 1981 due to lack of money. They returned after McDonnell Douglas had completed the overwhelming majority of the redesign and political forces had changed in the UK.

      Italy did an upgrade to their Harrier fleet, they are now fully 4 gen. aircraft, stronger engine, new Radar and weapon systems and heavy carry capacity. Australia should have done the same, much cheaper as the F35

    Eh...The British invented this aircraft and it did a fine job in the Falklands 1982.. it was upgraded by Mcdonnel Douglas.....The Martin B57 was also an upgrade of the Canberra Bomber ( another British Aircraft) Also of note is the P51 Mustang..it only became worthy of its name after the insertion of a British designed ( but improved ) Rolls Royce Merlin Engine.

    It didnt "hold its own" against the Arge Mirage and Skyhawks, it OBLITERATED them. It also took on F5`s piloted by American "Aggressor" squadron pilots and obliterated them, it then took on American F15`s and wiped the floor with them as well.
