Hawker Sea Harrier FRS.1The Hawker Siddeley Harrier astounded the world with its unique ability to take off and land vertically utilizing vectored thrust from its powerful 8000kg thrust engine.

The Hawker Siddeley Harrier astounded the world with its unique ability to take-off and land vertically utilizing vectored thrust from its powerful 8000kg thrust engine.

First tested in concept in 1960, the aircraft went through many periods of testing and modification prior to acceptance by the Royal Air Force and other nations in 1974. The production Harriers utilized either a Pegasus 6 or 11 engine of 8000 or 9750kg thrust and it was only natural that the Royal Navy should find application for this type of aircraft with their fleet air arm. Various political and financial considerations delayed the order for the "Navalized" Harrier until May 1975, when the Admiralty ordered an initial 24 aircraft plus one T.Mk.4's in 1980.

The FRS.1 is easily distinguished from its land based counterparts by a modified nose section incorporating a raised pilots seat and Ferranti Blue Fox radar, plus principal armament of Sea Eagle anti-ship missiles and AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. Martel or Harpoon ASMs may be carried as alternatives to Sea Eagle until the latter become operational. The first FRS.1 to fly was actually the initial production Sea Harrier, on 20 August 1978, and the prototype model later in December 1978. The home of the Sea Harriers was designated Yeovilton Navy Base, and they received the first aircraft in June 1979, where intensive flight trials began with "100/VL" squadron four days later.

This IFTU unit was designated 700A squadron in September 1979 and was re-designated 899 Squadron in March 1980. Three "Through - Deck" cruisers had been ordered for Sea Harrier operations: Invincible; Illustrious and Ark Royal, the first of which was commissioned in July 1980. All three vessels are to be fitted with a "Ski-jump" to assist take-off with full load, and this installation was also added to the commando carrier HMS Hermes when it was allotted a Sea Harrier squadron. A small export order for Sea Harriers was placed by India in November 1979 for six FRS.51's and two T.60 trainers.

The Sea Harrier, along with the GR3 Harriers from the RAF, were put to actual combat tests during the recent Falkland Islands crisis. The British South Atlantic force was built up with the addition of GR3 and FRS.1 Harriers bringing the total jump jet strength to around 40 aircraft carriers Hermes and Invincible. The Sea Harrier (FRS.1) has about 30% more re-action control for easier landings, and better "over the nose" visibility; however, the GR3's from the RAF worked well in the overall operations during the conflict and both aircraft distinguished themselves to the utmost. The Royal Navy Harriers, during the conflict, were painted in the new "toned down" finish of matte sea blue overall, while the RAF aircraft were in the extra dark sea gray scheme. With a cruise speed of mach .9 and a top speed of 1.25, and landing speed of 0, this is truly a versatile combat aircraft and one that will be in weapons inventories for many years to come.

A Catastrophic Failure in Diaper Form
Size: Size 2 (184 Count)
I’m not sure if I just got a bad batch or if these diapers are always this horrendous, but I will not spend another dime to find out—and I strongly urge you to do the same. I loved this brand’s Gentle version. They were everything you want in a diaper: super absorbent, well-fitted, no blowouts. I was their biggest fan. So, when the Gentles weren’t available, I thought, Surely the Plush will be just as good, maybe even better! I have never been more wrong. Let’s start with the tabs. These things are folded up like some kind of sick joke, requiring you to unfold them in three separate, precise movements. Miss a step? The tab rips off in your hand, leaving you holding a now-worthless scrap of disappointment. This happened to me. It happened to my mother. It will happen to you. But wait, there’s more! The side wings are a disaster. The right wing is disproportionately longer than the left, which means everything in this diaper is permanently listing to the right like a sinking ship. The left side? Practically non-existent. As a result, I have experienced more blowouts with these diapers than in my daughter’s entire life combined. I don’t know what sorcery was used to engineer a diaper that actively funnels poop toward the worst possible escape route, but here we are. And because I was foolishly optimistic, I bought a month’s supply. So now I'm locked in a psychological battle with my own stubbornness. I could throw them out, but that would be admitting defeat. So instead, I soldier on, knowing each diaper change is another step into madness. Please, learn from my mistake. You don’t have to live like this. Let me be your tribute, the sacrificial parent who suffered so you don’t have to. We’re already running on fumes as newborn parents—don’t make it worse by willingly subjecting yourself to these truly useless diapers that will rob you of your last remaining shreds of sanity. Save yourself. Run.

DON'T SLEEP ON THESE DIAPERS! (but your baby should)
Size: Size 3 (40 Count)
I was skeptical at first trying out the plush version of this diaper because I thought the mama bear gentle touch was just OK and you can find a better diaper for the same price point. I saw these on prime day for the same price as the gentle touch and said why not. I was very, very impressed. They are soft and flexible with a satin-like exterior; similar to the feel of a hello bello diaper. The plush version definitely feels more quality than the papery gentle touch ones. I first tested the absorbency using 12 oz of water, waited ten minutes and dabbed dabbed dabbed. Seriously NO moisture! In comparison to the gentle touch diaper that had obvious moisture after the same test. I put them to use on my baby, who just for reference is 19lbs, for an overnight and the diaper did not leak and was only damp in the morning, not wet! Amazing. She is a moderate wetter but I still think that performance is great because in comparison to gentle touch, the diaper was wet on the inside after only three hours and I had to consistently use diaper cream so rash wouldn't develop; I would have never used the gentle touch as an overnight diaper. Seriously, for .21 a diaper for size three these diapers are a steal. DONT SLEEP ON THIS DEAL, PICK UP SOME MAMA BEAR PLUSH DIAPERS!

Not the Same 🤍
Size: Size 2 (184 Count)
I loved the Mama Bear size 1 diapers, so I expected the “plush” size 2s to be the same. Unfortunately, they feel completely different. These seem thinner and not quite as absorbent as the size 1 regular pack. The design is also really busy, which makes the wetness indicator harder to see at a quick glance. With babies, that little line matters more than you’d think. I’ll still finish the pack, but I’m not sure I’d repurchase this “plush” version. If you’re choosing between them, I’d recommend sticking with the regular pack instead. In comparison, Huggies still perform better than these for us. 🤍✨ They don’t hold blowouts at all but they do fit well. They’re also not stretchy. I noticed the print on my baby’s legs.

Great cost efficient option
Size: Size 4 (36 Count)
I switched over from Millie Moon and really like these. They’re affordable, don’t have harmful additives, and are soft and gentle on my babies. Holds a significant amount and doesn’t leak even on overnight wears. I like the simple non character design as well.

Every other diaper leaked
Size: Size 7 (92 Count)
I bought these diapers because they were the cheapest available to buy with a gift card my family was given. Normally I use the bulk store brands. The diapers were very hit and miss. It varies from diaper to diaper even in a pack. My son does urinate heavily but even before he would get anywhere near a “full” diaper it would leak! Leading to wet pants and messes. We’ve never had this problem with other diaper brands. Even our cloth diapers hold better than half of these did. For note he falls below the max size for these diapers by at least 5 lbs. I don’t plan on repurchasing these because of the leaking issue. Beyond that they were easy to use like any other diaper, didn’t cause diaper rash, held together, but was subpar in absorption.
