Jaguar simulator
What became of the Jaguar simulator when the fleet was sold off? Is there one running in private hands now?
|
Good question.
|
Didn't Equador buy Jaguars?
They might have a sim. |
Or India or Oman, I seem to remember one for sale in bits.... What happened to the plastic jags?

What happened to the plastic jags? |
The RAF had plastic Jags they used to wheel around airshows and a Tornado, similar to the Chinook they have now and the Boeing that used to be a food Mexican? outlet the RAF bought secondhand.
We redid the Tornado in my Civi past so it could carry stores, it required the wings splitting, the internal scaffolding planks removing and a steel frame replacing them. |
Don't know if it's still there but an industrial unit in Dudley used to hold the promotional (plastic?) aircraft they used for displays and recruiting. Used to see them being trundled off to an event on the back of a low loader.

This was the Jag RAF Fuselages and Jaguar Replica - Neat Vehicles this is the RAF's repurposed Uncle Ben's Mexican Indian and Chinese food outlet Uncle Bens and RAF Altitude Unit - Neat Vehicles |
Sort of an AEOp heaven.........but no pies

Need a big shed for the map table....

There's a plastic Jag outside the front door of the Norfolk County Council offices ... though I doubt that many know what it is or why it's there!

And prior to that Bruggens I believe, that if I remember correctly was a composite of crashed bits nailed onto the Jag fuselage that was used by the Plumbers as a weapons loading training aid. NOT Plastic.
Edit: Just read the link that confirms it. |
On 20 in 1977 the Plumbers had a prototype Jaguar as a weapons loading training aid, it had a short nose gear door, different airbrakes, and cockpit instruments that would make a Hunter look sophisticated.
