Great pics! Don't think I've ever seen before, or even seen pictures of, 9 Jags all carrying the overwing Sidewinders.

Great shots and memories, always one of my favourite types. Retired too early in my opinion and seemingly a few ticks by some accountants pen was all it took.

Great ti See so many Jaguars in one picture...
I missed the occassion back then but the book BIG CAT DIARY, the final year of No. 6 Sqn is making up for that a bit.
By the way, that book is looking for a new home...

Excellent shots of a truly sad occasion. Particularly liking that stack of Can-openers!
