The Vampire was a first generation jet fighter which saw service in the immediate post-war period with Royal Air Force front-line fighter squadrons in the United Kingdom and Germany, followed by further service with the Royal Auxiliary Air Force. During the early part of WWII, the Squadron and its Lysanders were based in Palestine, but detached aircraft to the Western Desert until 1941 when Hurricanes were on strength. Further action in the Desert on anti-tank duties continued from 1942 until the end of the North African campaign. After converting to rocket-firing Hurricanes in 1944, the Squadron moved to Italy and flew the remainder of the War over the Balkans. A brief stint in Palestine after the War was followed by a move to Cyprus with Tempests. During 1948 the unit received Vampires and a series of moves around the Middle East followed before finally arriving back in Cyprus with Venoms.

In time of war the Harrier was to be deployed away from established airfields which were vunerable to attack.Instead it was to be operated from short, rough strips of ground and hidden in camouflaged 'hides' from which it would attack the enemy's approaching armoured formations. These qualities came in to their own during the Flaklands War.RAF Harriers were deployed to the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Hermes as part of the task force sent to recapture the Falklands Islands.The Harrier GR3 performed sorties from the aircraft carrier and later from basic landing strips on the islands, often in conditions that would have grounded conventional aircraft
