RAF Jaguars at DCAE Cranwell

Last week I made a visit to DCAE Cranwell to visit the Jaguars that are used for the RAF engineering officers AS training course.

Good to see a Jag moving under it's own power again.

A selection of photos below with more and the story on my (recently restyled!) website...

Great pictures, and the website is a really nice look too. Slick, but also plain enough that it doesn't distract from the images themselves

Number 2 is a great shot.

I love the shots of the Hawks - I was in Wales two weeks ago shooting at RAF Valley.

I have pictures of that exact same Hawk XX158.

I'd love to know where you are for the low-level shots. Cracking stuff!

Very Very nice, have any in-flight shots?

Sadly no as they don't fly them anymore. They simulate a sortie by taxiing them out to a dispersal, holding them there and then bring them back.

A lot cheaper to run them this way and if the aircraft flys or not doesn't really effect the training being delivererd.
