Jaguars!

I'm seeking some help with a project I'm tackling on the Jaguar. Does anyone know of any former Jaguar people and where I might be able to reach them? I'd really like to get some information on operations, handling, things like that.

Also, I'm on the hunt for photographs from the earlier days in the Jaguar's career, especially the prototypes, early production aircraft and export machines.

If anyone has any pointers I'd be very grateful!

Try asking on the military forum. Any number of ex drivers and maintainers over there. At least one poster who has more take offs than landings as well.

I have very little by way of personal records, but do own a memory (and still have my logbook and ETPS student reports).

I worked on flight testing the GR1 and T2a in their latter days out of BDN as we were doing late-life weapons clearances and the like, and have a reasonable number of hours in the back of the T2.

If I can help, shout.

Jaguar Boys

This book came out a couple of months ago. It's a very interesting read. Have you tried contacting the author?
