In 1993 an improved variant of the Sea Harrier was produced as the FA2 with a more powerful engine, improved air-to-air capabilities and weapons options. The FA2 was produced until 1998 and continued in service until 2006 when it was replaced by the Harrier GR9. 56 FA2 Sea Harriers were produced for the Royal Navy. To mark the No. 899 Squadron’s 25 years equipped with the Sea Harrier ZH809 was given a special paint scheme. The color was supposed to be Dark Sea Gray but it wasn’t available but Roundel Blue was and ZH809 was named “The Admirals Barge” and became the star at air shows.
