... this time, the Jaguar, soon to be retired but a nice aeroplane (better looking in its 2 seat form...). The aircrew who fly it say that the only way it gets airborne is by using the natural curvature of the earth. I was on a mission to prove them wrong - which is why I only took 50% fuel...

This particular aircraft is operated from Boscombe Down, mainly by the Empire Test Pilots School, and the RAF's Fast Jest Test Sqn.
