Any plans for the Jag to go low-level in Wales next week? I know it went through the Loop earlier this week and was well received by the snappers on the hills.

Marvelous
Juat watched it do a slow and high speed pass over Warton, preceded by a Typhoon and followed by a Tornado taking off.

Apparently he didn't hang around at Colt for long, preferring to do more passes at Norwich.

Came over St. Athan at 1545, quick waggle of the wings and disappeared over Cardiff airport.

Apparently the approach to Norwich was flown just to get below the cloud. By all accounts the weather was not great on the east coast today.

It was OK out east.

Broken cloud, but quite low.

A spotter friend has told me that the Colt flyby was not great for them. XX833 buzzed Norwich Airport, but Helos in the Colt area serverly restricted its route into and over Colt...

No run down the line......

But most old Jag techies are at Marham. Most ex Jag mates are at Conz.

Weather in Norfolk was not VFR at Marham...

Great shot, Shemy!

A few of Jaguar,XX833,from earlier this week in the Dinas Valley, Wales. Gusting winds on the 17th. I had to brace myself against a fence post to stop myself getting blown over!

Fantastic flying guys! A real privilege to see XX833 at low level in the week of its retirement.

Mon 17th December 07 - Bluebell Hill







Tue 18th December 07 - Bwlch Spur

Thanks Shemy. Those were taken with a Nikon D2X/Nikon Nikkor 300mm f/2.8.

My last one of the Jag. Caught on 18th December in the shadows on the run up to the Bwlch.
