The swan song of the Jaguar in RAF service. Taken from VC-10 XV107 over the North Sea, this 41 Sqdn machine was first flown on 12.5.76 and went to DARA St Athan on 29.9.05 for spares recovery. Behind is XZ364; with the closure of RAF Coltishall the final Jaguar unit, 6 Sqdn, disbanded in 2007

Nice to catch this superb exhibit in the sunshine outdoors. Built as a CC.1 and one of 39 Twin Pins which served with six RAF squadrons in the transport, supply dropping, photo survey and casualty evacuation roles (and even as a light bomber). Saw widespread active service in Aden from delivery to 78 Sqdn in 1958 till 1966 when she returned to the UK and now housed as part of the National Cold War Exhibition at Cosford

First flying on 07th March 1957, this was the 12th production Vulcan and last flew 19.11.65 when it was delivered to No.2 SoTT, Cosford. Became 7896M; to Cosford Aerospace Museum but controversially scrapped 1986 - the last intact B.1. But - not the last time a significant airframe would perish there when better could be expected
