When I think back to how many of these we had at Bruggen i's so good to see one stil functioning well done team.

[@bcwmjaguar1828]

Thanks Dave. It is special to keep the bird alive.

14, 17, 20, and 31 Squadron plus those at Laarbruch. You are right, lots of Jags in those days I remember them well.

Jaguar...what a beast!

I use to love the jag as a kid I thought it was absolutely wonderful fighter

If only you could get one flying again on special occasions

[@fredtedstedman]

21 minutes of the back of someones helmet ! A missed opportunity ??

[@biggles6369]

I had one vent fuel on my tanker whilst refuelling it at bruggen lol

[@bonesshed.]

Hey I know that dude... thats D reg ! I was on 16 OCU when he came through the course back in the day !

[@Slaphead4472]

What would it take to make this aircraft airworthy and if it could be would it be banned from flying by the CAA anyway ?

[@richardvernon317]

CAA would let it fly if BAe, RR and Martin Baker would support it and if we had the money to refit the aircraft with airworthy parts. Unfortunately none that will ever happen.

[@user-uu5sc3qs4n]

Good job this wasn’t QRA!!!!!

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

Is the intention for this to fly or is it just for taxiing edit. Just read you splurb, just taxiing🙄🙄

[@bcwmjaguar1828]

It can do no more than run down a track.

[@timhancock6626]

It's going to operate at very very low level 😉
