Gerry Anderson decides that he'll design his own Thunderbirds as his initial model wasn't realistic enough.

Nav: We're getting word from HQ that the beach goers are complaining that our shadow is taking too long to pass them, switch to afterburners.
Pilot: We are on afterburners.

Two hours later, the pilot receives a message from NHS Test & Trace that he spent more than 15 minutes within 2m of an infected person.

The test flight, assisting Jaguar take-off by using the Sea-Harrier ski jump ramp, proved most successful. It was recommended that the Jaguar start at the top of the ramp and run down it to reach take-off speed just before the curve of the Earth took effect.

Fed up with his aircraft performance PO PPRuNe ejected, and he was still on the ground 30 minutes before the Jaguar. Even the laws of gravity do not apply here.

Even though he took over five hours, the pilot was disqualified from his marathon for using mechanical assistance.

Hoskins liked to think of himself as the Maverick of the Sqn, only his 'Need For Speed' was not to be realised.

Normally while doing maneuvers the crew were subected to 'g' however with this aircraft G was not needed to be taken into calculations.

While guarding Britain's Borders they expected to be armed with live munitions however when pulling the trigger all they heard on the headphones was
" Bang Two Three"

Tasked with keeping a eye on miscreants on a motorbike travelling at 180 MPH on the M1. Tbe crew asked for expectations to be lowered when this was allocated to the Jaguar Squadron.

The MoD thought that they might be able to make the Jag faster if they could stop dragging that shadow around. The head of the department got a bonus for thinking that one up.

Well the NAVWASS is shagged again, or global warming has reached the Empty Quarter.

Even it's own shadow needs to deploy the speed brakes.

The Jaguar was the only aircraft that had a man with a red flag to warn other people of it's approach.
