Jaguar GR1

A joint development by the French and UK aviation industries the Jaguar served in a variety of roles from the 1970’s until the early 2000’s. Deployed mainly with 2TAF forces in Germany the Jaguar was a superb replacement for the Canberra strike force. Easily capable of supersonic flight and with a 10,000lb plus weapon load the Jaguar showed it’s worth in the Gulf War with one aircraft flying the highest number of missions of any aircraft type and no losses recorded. A genuine tactical (nuclear capable) workhorse for the RAF.
The image shows a GR1 Jaguar, in 54 Sqdn livery, in a typical northern Europe weather scene.

Have been interested in photography since just after WW2, when film became freely available again, using Kodak Autographic equipment. Graduated, in the 50's, to 35mm and was involved in photographic work during my 17 yrs as RAF aircrew - navigator. Since retirement and migrating to Canon digital equipment have been involved with two of my sons and one grandson in a considerable amount of photographic activity, particularly composite images. Now producing digital art prints with the major emphasis on classic warbird aviation. With son, Duncan, now becoming a well-known and published wild life photographer we have started, in 2017, a new gallery reflecting Scottish sea birds - and 'feathered' flight
