No worries and thanks in advance. Also is it correct that they have NASA's "vomit comet" KC135 there? If yes i really could use pictures of that one. Especially the nose profile (my kit is damaged there) and the refueling boom area.
Great looking Thud. I have the Airfi kit of this variant. Unfortunately it cas both canopies cracked and I can't source replacements. I will probsbly do boneyard build with it so I can sane the canopies smooth and use a good few coats of satin wjite over them to represent the spraylat coating.

All the best.

Not a great pic as I only had my mobile with me at max zoom through a mesh fence.

Two Jaguars on the hardstand at RAF Cosford today. (There are lots more hidden round the back)

Lovely (and sad) to see them. Why are they out there?

A whole batch of single and twin seaters were sent there for training purposes. They train ground crew there. At least one is use for fast taxis at the airshow

I always liked the Jaguar. It just looks purposeful!

Interesting,Kit. I also like the Jag and have to admit that I thought they were all dead and buried save for perhaps some museum examples. Although it's sad the aircraft is no longer flying with the RAF at least these survivors are serving a useful purpose in helping to train the next generation of ground crew.

I saw one of these flying around a while back...I think they are from Nellis AFB.

Greg, sorry so late replying. I think that they do have the Vomit Comet there. I still have to go renew my membership as it has expired. Now that the weather is cooling off, I'll be doing that soon. I've been pondering the best way to send pictures direct. Any suggestions?

I'm no expert either and it very well could be from Beale....but who cares as long as it looks that cool?

Ho Wow. A Saab 17. I have a couple of the Marivox kits of this in the stash. It really is a great looking aircraft.

All the best.
