Why No Jaguar Pin in RAFA's Goodies for Sale?
 
Recently manned a RAFA stand at our mayoral parade (cancelled as police couldn't find the manpower to supervise the event) Ex Jag armourer most miffed he couldn't find a Jag badge/pin whilst all the other fast jet types are represented. Protest friends, write letters,badger your MP cry foul for RAFA admit that our favourite constant thrust variable noise machine has indeed been overlooked. A pox on them I say insist this slur is on our estucheon is put right.

Don't bend down when a Jag Mate's around...

Jaguar items are unlikely to be found mixed in with Fast Jet stuff.

Bluntie cries 'Foul'. What is your definition of 'Fast Jet'? What part of fast, don't you understand? I have flown Jaguar at low level at 700 knots.

ZH875 12th Jun 2018 09:46

700kts is almost the speed you can get a bite from the Jaguar guys.😀

PDR1 12th Jun 2018 09:57

I think the OP accidently moved thr throttles to "Loud". :p

Incidently - did you mean 700kts or 700mph? The latter I could believe, but the former I struggle with.

A Jaguar at 700kts is just trying to get airborne.

NutLoose 12th Jun 2018 10:56

It was proabably still trying to catch up with the rest of them... you should have told him to buy the Phantom one, as it like this thread, shot the Jag down. :p

Jaguar
 
Get a life guys - if you flew it, you loved it, the rest of you ill informed gainsayers don't appreciate the contribution this aircraft made to the Royal Air Force.

NutLoose 12th Jun 2018 22:19

I worked on it... Does that count, 2 Sqns and an MU

I'm a bit hazy on this but wasn't it some sort of trainer???? ..............exits left, pursued by a bear...........................;)

We could laugh at ourselves too though - as once found in a 700 ' Aircraft appears underpowered ' cleared with ' no fault found, aircraft is a Jaguar '

Dan Gerous 13th Jun 2018 08:25

Maybe they sold out, as it was so popular.

Jag Rigger is correct. We were mostly in the bar with all our Jaguars serviceable for the morning when all the other fast jet crews were still trying to get one of theirs serviceable. :)

NutLoose 13th Jun 2018 11:33

Fascinating, one in silver and one in bronze, no first place gold for them. :E

I see the Jaguar could carry 2x600lb nukes, do Mach 1.6 at 36,000ft, ceiling at 45,000, and a lo lo lo range of 490kts.

Of course wiki isn't always accurate.
