Stencils used on No.1 Squadron Harrier GR7s involved in Operation ALLIED FORCE. This was a NATO operation in which Serbian military targets were attacked to prevent their persecution of ethnic minorities in Kosovo.

Armourer Chf Tech Peter Morgan, created these stencils to record sorties flown by RAF Harrier GR7s on operations over the former Yugoslavia as part of Operation ALLIED FORCE. The aim of which was to force the Yugoslavian Government to stop attacks in Kosovo, remove all their military forces from the area and allow the deployment of United Nations military peacekeepers to the country. The two-month long air campaign succeeded in its aims and a peace agreement was signed in June 1999.
