Fascinating BAe archive, Jag and Tornado spinning and JP trials
After the Jag on the motorway footage.
Very interesting! We taxied the Jaguar on the grass at Bruggen and that was enough for me!! Also landed on the autobahn and did a turnaround! No major problem as the Germans built straight bits with a nice rest area at each end!

Newt, the grass landing / arrival is on this one at 2 mins
Back 20+ years ao I definitely watched a Jag landing at EGDM with just one burner plugged in - can anyone explain why that would be done? Some odd trial or a practice etc?
Always thought it was an odd one - now I know a Jag needed burners and the curvature of the earth to take off, but to land...?!!

We taxied on grass at Coltishall, but did not dare to get behind another Jaguar. Have a look at the clip of the Jaguar taking off. I doubt if they could use that bit of grass again.

The use of reheat in landing a Jaguar with only one good engine was found out very early the flight development trials of the Jaguar, well the first two A prototypes having accidents / close shaves with undershoot approaches on single engines. Jimmy Dell whom saved A04 from the fate suffered by A03 by selecting full burner to "hop the fence"was shocked by the lack of performance in single engine max dry emergencies. It was found that min burner settings (30% boost) was way too much to fill the performance hole , so part throttle reheat was devised to fill the gap.. Adour 102 engines onwards. Only the first French frames ever flew with production 101 engines. Of course PTR was used in other Jaguar proceedures such as AAR. Reheat on an Adour in the UK? Next year I hope on something I am helping with.
