Some great photos there Karl.

Just to add something, these Aircraft have not been left to die at Cosford. They are on the War reserve and will remain so for another 9 years. This means that they can have nothing removed from them, they are not Christmas trees, the engines are run by the Instructors at Cosford at least once every 28 days, they are very well looked after by the ATSC staff. They are at present trying to get authroity to live taxy them to train people in flight line operations. Whilst It is sad to see the Jag fleet retired from active service, they are still cared for and have become invaluable training assets to the RAF.

Who knows, with Cosford moving to Wales soon, maybe one way ferry flights might be on the cards.....


Got to have a dream right!!
