In discussing ideas for the Jag Farewell Celebrations, it has been suggested that we should compile a volume of ‘Jaguar Tails’ (sic). I am quite sure that every current and former Jaguar pilot will have an anecdote that is worth sharing – be it a particularly amusing incident or a hair raising ‘single-seat moment’!
I would be especially grateful if every Jag Mate could take the time to write down his own Jaguar Tail and we will endeavour to produce something in time for the Disbandment Weekend on 29/30 Jun – feel free to submit more than one! Let me know if you are happy to be identified or would prefer to remain anonymous. I think that there is enormous potential here but it will need prompt support to be successful!
I envisage a compilation along the lines of the ‘I learnt about flying from that’ articles in Air Clues which I know I certainly always found fascinating. Given that many Tails will undoubtedly involve unexpected proximity to the ground or a wingman, the fuel gauges proceeding anti-clockwise rather further than ideal or an exploration of the legendary flight characteristics, I would urge careful thought before posting on a public forum where the unique context of a lonely cockpit will not be universally understood. Many undoubtedly will be suitable, and I am sure that PPRuNers will appreciate them – please send the rest to:
[email protected] ([email protected])
Remember to tell me if you wish to remain anonymous. I have sole access to this account and give my personal assurance that all confidence will be respected.
We are all busy people but please take a few minutes and seize this opportunity to record your ‘moment’.
