Early carrier trials with the Jaguar came to nothing. On "launch" all that happened was the ship was propelled backwards.

Captain ...." Inbound enemy bomber, Launch the Alert 5 "
Air Boss ..." Sorry Sir It's the French turn to provide Top Cover. It's now Alert 30 "
Captain..." Abandon Ship "

Kneeling man with his arm held out: "No, it's this way you're meant to go."

It's April 1st and the Air Force has delivered a Jaguar to an aircraft carrier, using a Chinook.

The Navy will take revenge by pushing it over the side, claiming it was trying to take-off.

Its no good Sir...you will have to reduce the speed of the carrier, every time we lauch it..we catch it up and it lands again!

At the subsequent Board of Inguiry the Buccaneer Pilot claimed the gap between the deck and the Jaguar body was too tempting a target...

Now we are stationed just off Calais we are ready to deploy the Anti Immigration Flights again.
Pritti Patel will be impressed.
Let's hope they don't row as fast as the last lot.

I've been driving in my car
It's faster than my Jaguar...

Ok last orders... scoring on the morrow.. :)

and then I’ll send the trophy over by Jag.............. don’t wait up.

The RSPCA stop the boat sailing as there was a Cat on the roof.

You must be this tall to fly...

Of course you can launch a JAG from an aircraft carrier -- I saw it on TV.

The arm? No that's to give Tom a step up to the ladder...

The arm? No good as a one armed fisherman

The arm? No my last job was as a performing dog trainer

The crew hated it when the Jag was taking off. It's not easy to get a Carrier up to 88mph.

Remember remember the Firework Code. NEVER return to a lit device if it don't fly...
