Spotted: Jaguar flying over A11 around Wymondham!!
I was very surprised to see a Jaguar fly over me whilst driving down the A11 on thurs (30/4/09). I thought all Jaguars in the UK were retired including the Qinetiq aircraft. Does anybody where this Jaguar may have come from and what it may have been doing?? I would be interested to find out if there was a group of enthusiasts somewhere determined to keep the Jaguar flying.
Just in case in anybody was going to suggest I was mistaken I should probably let you know that I worked as Jaguar Groundcrew for 3 years so I'm very familiar with the noise and appearance of the aircraft.
It appeared to be in the standard grey military livery and was carrying 2 drop tanks as was standard for flight ops.
If anyone has any info on this I would certainly appreciate finding out more about it.
Thanks
