Nice to see the Jags still in use. Just a shame they'll never fly again!!! Hope that a private collector will one day have one flying on the display circuit.

Unfortunately, with the CAA's view on fast jets, highly unlikely...... :(

They are ground based only Zolt

DCAE Cranwell uses the Jaguar as part of the specialist Aerosystems (AS) training course for RAF Engineering Officers to prepare them for their first posting to an operational squadron. The 30 week course delivers technical training on aerodynamics, airframes, engines, avionics, electrics, materials, electro-optics and weapons bridging the gap between the officer’s engineering degree and the skills needed to support the equipment used by the RAF.

In weeks 24, 25 and 26 an assessment exercise is held to allow the officers to draw on all elements of their training. The exercise involves supporting and managing a fleet of five Jaguars (three single seat GR1 / GR1As and two twin seat T2 / T2As). Officers play all roles on the squadron to give them experience of all aspects of the work that is carried out on an active squadron. A Jaguar will be prepared by the officers before it taxis out onto the taxiway and on to a dispersal where it will hold until returning once again simulating a sortie.
