Jaguars



LAST JAGUAR TO ROAR

One of the last Jaguar flights has just taken place.  The aircraft in spectacular livery made a spectacular departure.  I have a particular affection for the Jaguar as I served at RAF Coltishall in Norfolk and had an Engineering responsibility for 39 of them.  6 Squadron, 41 Squadron and 54 Squadron often used to adopt me as a spare Junior Engineering Officer and I travelled with them to Gibraltar and Denmark many times.  

From my recollections it was an Engineers as well as a Pilots dream aircraft.  Reliable, Easy to Service and quick to turn round - highly versatile and effective.

You dont mess with the "BIG CATS"
What a brilliant aircraft
