Actually, the account I remember is that they were removed because the
standard operating procedure for an engine failure in the Harrier was
just to eject.  The thing had something like a 3:1 glide ratio and a
stall speed of 120 knots, making a ditch basically a death sentence
for the pilot.  No need for emergency power, basically. :)
