HMS Hermes (R12) Hawker Harrier Trials 1977. G-VTOL was designated as a Harrier Mk.52 and built in 1971 as a two-seater V/STOL company demonstrator. It is now on display at the Brooklands Museum in Weybridge.

            The trials involved four Harriers, two singleseaters and two two-seaters, aboard Hermes, They were designed to look in particular at the ability of the aircraft to operate from a pitching and rolling flight deck at night or in poor weather. All four aircraft were given different tasks within a programme covering investigation of various stores configurations, handling on the approach, head-up display symbology and handling with simulated Sea Harrier centre-of-gravity locations.

The two-seat Harrier from RAE Bedford was used during the Hermes trial to establish whether head-up display symbology modifications would be required for the Sea Harrier approach case.
