Just some jaded Jaguars from my junk box

Hi Peeps :P

Yet another poor attempt at alliteration for a title :whistle:

These are obviously all from my beloved Coltishall, all taken from the Scottow crash gate :D

Great set of photos, love the Jaguar, I always liked the Jaguar in 41 Sqd marks, I only managed to get to Coltishall a few times, it was a great place for photos, thanks for posting these,

Another cracking set Paddy, Coltishall was the best RAF station for activity and movements, always something to see and a great loss, thanks for sharing.

Far far from jaded

Just look at the camo and proper squadron markings

Really like the Arctic warrior

( I didn't get to colt that often - a couple of times I remember for Spanish phantoms and also spent the night in the car waiting for some HR F-16s to come out of the hangar)

Nice selection there Paddy. Well done for posting them. Nice to see proper planes instead of those ghastly F35 wotsits. lol.

Cheers
John.

Don't normally reply to picture posts, but so many memories looking at your pics paddyboy. Used to go there too, sometimes into the field right next to runway 22, many happy memories.

Hi Paddyboy :P
What a great set.
Aircraft in proper markings and camo just awesome.
I spent many happy hours at that very same spot and in the field at the end of 22.

Always loved 54 Squadron marked jets especially when 732 sported a sharks mouth.
Happy memories of a much missed airfield.
Thanks for posting.

All the best
Andy

What a great start to Sunday seeing these. Makes up for Dennis rattling the windows. Particularly like the Snow cats and the T-bird tucking up the gear.
