The crew members were on a training exercise at the Akrotiri base when it is thought the plane caught fire.

Did you know that the Harrier is one of the few military aircraft that do not have a fire bottle? The new generation of Harrier II aircraft (Gr5 and up) the bottle was removed. The older Gr3 and T4 have one, but it was considered that it was always infective, so it was designed out.
