The British Aerospace/McDonnell Douglas Harrier II is a second generation vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) jet aircraft used previously by the UK's Royal Air Force (RAF) and, between 2006–2010, the Royal Navy. Developed from the earlier Hawker Siddeley Harrier, it was produced as the Harrier GR5/GR7/GR9, and is closely related to the U.S.-built AV-8B Harrier II. Both are primarily used for light attack or multi-role tasks, and are often operated from small aircraft carriers. The Harrier II fell victim to a UK defence review which saw all its operational airframes retired from service in December 2010.
