It's neither Harrier or F/A-18 Hornet. It's French Mirage F-1.
It's not a Harrier because there is single drop tank in the middle. Harrier's can't fuel tank in that location because Harriers don't have center pylon. Also, refueling probe is on the wrong side and location.
Harriers also have 3 pylons on each wing (RAF has 4 per wing) This plane only has 1 visible
It's not a Hornet, because Hornets have twin vertical stabilizer.
I think that rather than a demonstration of the low-altitude capabilities of the Harrier (we all know if can fly really low), I think this video is intended to demonstrate the specific gravity and volume of this Royal Marine's bollocks. And it does that. Rather well.
I like it. But I don't think it fits TIMESHIFT, because it is neither time lapsed or slow motion. I was waiting for the repeats to show the plane going slower.
Darn close flyover.. better have a spare set of underwear handy.
