Jaguar handling

A fairly recent accident report referred to the Jaguar's "hard-edged" handling characteristics, and reading other odds and ends over the years leaves one with the impression that it could be quite demanding in some regimes.

Out of sheer interest, was this really the case? If so, I'd be most interested in the reasons. One of our staff cadets raised the issue whilst we were admiring the example in the Cosford static on Sunday. I said I thought it might be to do with the B/A ratio, the lateral control system and the very high wing loading, but was I on the right track or was that total garbage?

Enlightenment greatly appreciated.
