The British Aerospace Harrier II, later the BAE Systems Harrier II, was an British military V/STOL and strike airplane manufactured by British Aerospace under license from McDonnell Douglas and later by BAE Systems under license from Boeing.

Its last carrier launch was from the HMS Ark Royal on 2010-11-24 with its last flight occuring on 2010-12-15. In November of 2011, 72 of the 143 built were sold to the United States Marine Corps to be cannibalized for spare parts in order to sustain its McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II fleet.

“	The British Aerospace ... Harrier II is a second-generation vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) ground-attack aircraft.An Anglo-American development of the British Hawker Siddeley Harrier, the Harrier II is the final member of the Harrier family that started with the Hawker Siddeley P.1127 in the early 1960s. The Harrier GR.7/GR.9 was used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and, between 2006 and 2010, the Royal Navy (RN). The Harrier GR.7/GR.9 and other models of the Harrier family have been called "Jump Jets". The Harrier GR.7/GR.9 was also capable of being operated from the Invincible class aircraft carriers. The Harrier II flew combat missions in Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. In December 2010, budgetary pressures led to the early retirement of all Harriers from service.	”
