Yes, some SHars in storage at Shawbury, Gosport, and Culdrose. A large number are still alive at the last mentioned with the School of Flight Deck Operations where they are taxied around to teach deck handlers their trade.

A lot of the surplus one's had spares reclaimed like engines, panels and all sorts of bits and bobs why keep spares for an aircraft you no longer use?
Not sure about parts commonality with the current harrier fleet though.

Did the RN keep any of their Sea Harriers complete and in storage like some of the Jaguar fleet appear to have been at Cosford?
Given the war of words developing over the exploration drilling in the Falklands just now, their might be a sudden requirement! (Are the RAF versions devoid of a comprable radar?)
