Stories stories. I first flew the GR1 in 1974. I really wanted Buccaneers after my 'promised' posting to TSR2 went down the toilet. I found the Jaguar easy to fly, but hard work to operated. Compared with my Canberra, a more complex mission (no autopilot, new technology, ECM and complicated systems), I struggled. But I lived, though many of my mates did not. Percentage wise it could be argued that we lost more Jaguars in the early days than the Germans lost Starfighters (The Widow Maker). But I am proud to be a WIWOJs and would not have missed it for the world. Here I am very recently at the Boscombe museum. I was the very last RAF pilot to fly XX 734
