Morning -
This comment will probably put the Cat amongst the Pigeon's ( so to speak )
The picture that has been put up for you has this A/c as a GR.3, well depending how much you want to split hairs it is Not as it never got upgraded to GR.3 status
According to my records it went from GR.1 upgraded to GR.1A, then to GIA - 9282M and was scrapped at Boscombe Down in 2003
This is correct as far as I am aware, others may know different, so I leave it with you and them to judge

The photo is nothing to do with me. I simply did a quick search using the first part if the OP's question, which, to be honest, they could have done themselves but I was trying to help a newbie.

I was not getting at you,Nighthawke but just stating that this paticular A/c never went to the GR.3 Mod which was around the Engine Upgrade. I just like getting thing's down proparNighthawke wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2025 11:21 amThe photo is nothing to do with me.

Well then, the photo is taken in 1979 and the caption with it is wrong as it's a GR.1. Jaguar's were not upgraded beyond that mark until after Gulf War I

XZ101 would only have ever been upgraded to GR.1A whilst with 2 squadron, they converted to the Tornado GR.1A before Jaguar's were upgraded beyond that mark.
How's that for getting things down proper?
