Art Nyalls, an ex US marine corp test pilot, bought one from the UK in bits, got it all back together, and now flies it regularly in the US at airshows, etc. Once he started flying it, the authorities decided to investigate why he was using so much fuel - were staggered to be met by an active Harrier. When he tried to purchase all the manuals (600,000 pages or something) from the UK MOD, they did a full security investigation on him, found he was a high-houred AV8B pilot, and sent him the books! Would hate to be paying the fuel bill.
