Under powered Jaguar!

Having flown Jaguars in Oman for 9 years I can assure readers that underpowered is correct, even with the upgraded Adours.
We once had to launch Jaguars with 2 external tanks and 4x 1000 lb bombs. They used most of the 15000 ft runway and, having cleared the Wali Camp the wing tip vortices were still raising dust as they headed towards Rubkut Range!
