This jag, by the direction it is going in, is probably heading for the Kirkstone pass. Saw four f15E's doing the same, when I was up the Lakes many years ago, great sight , as they flew over the ferry on Windermere and turned sharp right over the small Island.
@UKkid19 The Jaguar fleet is currently festering at RAF Cosford. I visited the museum in 2010 & I saw Jaguars being used to trained ground marshalling RAF personnel. Very sad to see such a potent ac, with plenty of life left in it being prematurely reduced to a ground training role. Yet another example of Labour folly, now compounded by the Conservatives with yet more cuts. The RAF is now the same size as the Belgium AF-what a ridiculous situation :(
@LIVERPOOLSCOTTISH That's rather cynical, the British military air forces: Combat aircraft 400 Heavy Transport 60 Helicopters 500. Belgian Air force? About 70 combat aircraft, and 11 Hercules. However since the RAF will have 160 Typhoons, which was purported to take on 7 F-15s and emerge victorious, what comparison are the Belgians and their pesky f-16s?
@stig781 You might well call it cynical, I call it a national disgrace. It is reaching a stage were the RAF is so reduced in size that it is in danger of not offering sufficient opportunities for promotion/advancement & it will struggle to retain personnel. The range/diversity of aircraft is very limited now, even compared to ten years ago. Harrier- struck off charge. Jaguar- struck off charge. Nimrod- struck off charge. It is in danger of possessing a very limited capability. Very sad.
About 150 feet at 421 knots IAS I seem to remember! Put a smile on my face anyway. As for it not being used in combat.........do your research, one of the most stable low level bombing platforms ever. 7 feet up the road to Bagdad with the lights on!
What a great machine, and very sad that 41SQ and Coltishall are no more...........
cool i used to fly tutors and vigilants before i signed up and they stuck me on choppers bt bin off wrk on sick for ages bt its gd to get out and about and watch my colleagues at play lol
no aptitude. things like your reactions, how quick you do calculations etc. you do the tests at cranwell during selection. i think theres a video on here of it. seach for OASC (Officers and Aircrew Selection Centre)
ey its gd stuff. i found over coniston and windermere theres more activity there cs we like to show off to the tourists. youll get the ocasional tornado fly low and slow along there and wagel its wings for u. the yanks like that area as well. north wales is gd for watching low level training to
Lol i always see fighter jets when i go on an expedition course with outward bound in the lake district, pretty amazing
