Jaguar - Strike Squadron - COI Film From Late 1970s
 

Found this on You Tube.

Some might recognise the faces and names.

Enjoy the nostalgia !

They must have speeded up parts of that film, nice to see the old Squadron again :) see a few glitches like aircraft without, then with CBLS's, but a nice nostalgic reminder.

Love the banter...

Ah, the upside-down Koch fasteners. A wonderful MoD 'cost-saving' measure that wasn't really thought through. We suffered that in the F4 for years too.

70's fashion ... 70's hair styles ... and the "gayest parties" ... 70's language ... classic :)

Thanks for sharing EngO :D

Oh memories! Thanks for posting that. Nice to see all those really young chaps! :ok:

Ejecting with a steel helmet on your lap might smart.

You were young once Wholigan! :ok:

How is the new zimmer?

Waiting to get the powered one newt! :D

Goodness, forgotten all about the film. I was at Bruggen in the COC when it was shot, wearing my NBC suite and gas mask. What happy memories.

NBC suite? Did they have COLPRO in those days? ;)

..........:eek:

Have you tried typing respera, respara, respirator when you've had a couple...

Red Cap armourer
 

Unofficial headgear on Jag armourer?

If I had a quid for every time I showed that film while I was on recruiting I'd be a rich, rich man.

Brought back many happy memories - I trained most of those guys !
After we trained 6 and 54, 14 were next and were the first RAFG Jaguar squadron.

6 Sqn were TRAINED??

Very droll !

I seem to remember only the best went to the Big Wing in Germany:ok:

Fair one. ;)

That film brings back memories of RAFG. Seriousness, uncertainty, olive drab paint, sweat and charcoal lined NBC suits, densely planted woods and the sense that anything could happen and that if it ever did, there would be no half measures and it wouldn't be good news.
