Jaguar Commanders and Jag Roll of Honour
As part of the end of Jaguar celebrations, 6 have tied up with Command graphics to produce a brochure for the 29-30th weekend. OC6 has asked me to see if it was possible to complete a list of the Jaguar Sqn Commanders (including the OCU) and a Roll of honour to the aircrew and groundcrew who lost their lives being involved with the aircraft.
With the help of PPRuNe'rs I have a complete record of the 78 commanders of All Jaguar units... Thank You all
The roll of honour is complete!!
Thank you all. I will add list to thread when I have the time!!!

Infomation was taken off this site and cross checked with FS accident reports that are now on line.. This site was the one trawled for pre 1979.
The accidents on the list are the fatal ones that we do not have a name for.
Thanks for the info.. However PM is a better way of passing such info please.

S P Nelson
I believe the pilot was Flt Lt Paul Nelson. He was killed and the American pilot (think he was a passenger rather than the exchange pilot - but could easily be wrong) survived. The ac hit some wires, rolled uncontrollably and Paul ejected out of limits hitting the ground pre 'chute deployment.
the list refers to:
The only loss during 1986 was of GR.1A XX732/03 of 226 OCU, which crashed on Stock Hill, 11 miles SW of Hawick on November 27th. The USAF exchange pilot was killed
Please PM infomation...............

Alber Ratman,
29-Jul-1977 XX148 226 OCU 2 seater both fatal
27-Apr-1978 XX149 226 OCU two seater both fatal
It is possible that the instructor in one of these accidents
was John Rigby. If I remember it was a bad weather pull-up
with subsequent loss of control (disorientation?).
Some time after I left the OCU a dear friend was also killed.
It was a low level ejection outside the envelope.
His name was Ian (Idi) Hill.
Also Dave Plumbe of 31 - he and we were at Nellis at the time.
JP (ex 226 OCU)

JP,
John was an instructor on Jet Provosts at Linton, but at the time of his accident he was a student on the Jaguar OCU.

You got it in a one'r I used to love the RAF and I suppose i still do but it is being systematically destroyed by clowns, what was the old saying from ww1 "Lions led by Donkeys" its so true still to this day.

I see there will be a Jag at RIAT! According to the website QinetiQ are bringing the T2 (and an Alphajet). I trust the pilots will have a long hold by the happy snappers down at the east end; could this be the last public Jag appearance?

1. I would like to ask for any Jag videos and pictures you have for a presentation at the disbandment. We would especially like any older jag pics including those of people who were on the Jag in RAFG. Please send them to [email protected] or post a link below. Any old sqn videos would be greatly appreciated as we can convert them to digital very easily. They will not be made public and may even be seen by the people in the pics/films themselves.
2. Any old Jag mates out there who were on any of the Jag sqns - please rack your brains for the sqn drink of choice, eg 6 Sqn - G+T, 41(F) - Seek and Destory (red aftershock + sambuca)
, 54(F) - blue and yellow...
Memory jog - II(AC), 6, 11, 14, 16(R), 17, 20, 31, 41(F), 54(F), 226 OCU
Many thanks in advance....

Sqn Drink
II(AC)'s drink was/is Ratzeputz. A rather spicy liquer, german I think, often spiced up with chillies, pepper etc. it was always given to new arrivals and visitors in a little mini tankard. The best technique was 'down in one'. I had quite a few over the years having visited II(AC) several times on Hawkeyes whilst serving on 41(F), and subsequently at the start of each of my 3 tours on II(AC)!
