Right from the beginning it displayed some interesting handling characteristics, even when straight and level - viz the first three ship flypast at Lossiemouth in front of HRH to mark the formation of the first Jag Squadron (or it might have been the OCU). The (apparent) PIO and subsequent break out in front of the assembled multitude looked quite interesting.

I might add it was many years before I was able to experience flights in the Jaguar, and enjoyed every minute of them, although never reaching any extreme attitudes. I also realised quite quickly that whilst I might be able to fly it I would never have been able to operate it, and (banter caption OFF) the guys who did had my full respect.
