The Étendard IVM was originally to have been replaced by a navalised version of the Jaguar, designated as the Jaguar M, but the project was dogged by a combination of political problems and issues experienced during trial deployments on board carriers. It suffered handling inadequcies when being flown on a single engine and a poor throttle response time that made landing back on a carrier after an engine failure difficult. In 1973, all development work on the Jaguar M was formally cancelled by the French government This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
