The Harrier costing almost ¿1,500,000 was one of three carrying out exercises around Ouston when its engine suddenly cut out. The pilot Flt. Lt. Neil Jeremy Wharton, 23, of RAF Wittering, near Peterborough, had time only to radio a report that he was bailing out. The two other Harriers in the air at the time continued to circle for a time. The Harrier was one of four from No.1 Squadron, RAF Wittering, the first operational squadron in the world to be equipped with vertical take-off aircraft.

MPX5128898: RAF Mountain Rescue and Police search for the wreckage of a crashed light aircraft. The wreckage of a war lies beneath the soft earth of the Cheviot slopes. Consciously ignored by the censored Press of World War Two dozens of planes plunged to their destruction and sank into bogs. More than 25 - both Allied and German - are beneath the marshy soil and their names bear out the aggression of war: Spitfire, Flying Fortress, Swordfish... But when the war ended, the accidents stopped. In the 30 years since the war there had only been two air crashes over the misty hills, this Tuesday's nosedive into Hedgehope Hill was one of them. But rumours persist about the strange weather conditions and freak disturbances between St Abb's Head, where the men went off course and the Cheviots. Does the North have a Bermuda Triangle of its own ? As Department of Trade Inspectors stood by in Wooler to begin examining the Piper Cherokee wreckage, experts answered unequivocally: No ! The aircraft, that was flying from Edinburgh to Sunderland and crashed on the 2,348 ft. Hedgehope Hill is pictured, 14/02/1979 (b/w photo) / Bridgeman Images
