RAF Cranwell Sepecat Jaguars

Post by Christopher Low »

Can anyone tell me if there are ALPHASIM Jaguar paint schemes available for the five black aircraft that are based at RAF Cranwell? Oh, and whilst we're on the subject of black colour schemes......does anyone know where I can get skins for the two Martin Baker Gloster Meteors that are based at Chalgrove? One of those (WA638) is black, and I think the other (WL419) is silver and red. I would prefer skins for the Rick Piper Meteor F8 if possible....

The Jaguar is no longer in service with the RAF, and as far as I know wasn't based at Cranwell.

The Jaguars that Christopher is referring to are used by DCAE to teach BENGO's the ins and outs of airfield operations, and they can be seen (very rarely) taxi-ing around Cranwell every now and again

Well, you learn something new every day, thanks Daryl.

I guess they fulfil a similar role to the Harriers they used to have at Culdrose.

Hmmmm, I don't think that Nick had a reflective model so it may be that you won't get the finish that you hope for.

I was hoping to be able to add one or two of these Jaguars as static aircraft at the VFR Airfields version of RAF Cranwell. As those Tesco adverts are fond of stating.....every little helps :wink:

Whilst I am on the subject of black aircraft, does anyone know of any black paint schemes for Dave Garwood's Hawker Hunter, and also that nice Gloster Meteor F8 that was released a while ago? I know of one for the Hunter (G-FFOX), but there are at least three flyable UK Hunters in black. As for the Meteor, one of the two Martin Baker Meteors at Chalgrove is black, and I would like to add both of them as AI planes.
