After the withdrawal of the SEPECAT Jaguar from Royal Air Force frontline service on April 30, 2007, a number of airframes were destined for a new role within the service as part of 238 Squadron, No1 School of Technical Training (No1 SoTT). However, with technology and methods evolving, some of the elements within the training given are no longer required. This lead to the announcement from RAF Cosford that the final ever taxi run of an RAF Jaguar would take place on August 31, 2016. Not wishing their second retirement to slip away quietly, 238 Squadron were on hand to allow 150 enthusiasts on to the base to witness and capture RAF Cosford Jaguars last prowl.
