Spent the day at Coningsby for the flypasts by 6 Squadron to mark the end of operational flying. Nice weather but a strong breeze made photographing difficult. Not the absolute end of Jag flying, but may well be the last time I see them. Just a couple of shots of the stars for now, as I'm bushed. Nice to see Tweek again, thanks for the company.

nice pictures, wish i couldve had the chance to see them in person

Wow, that's some nice flying, and some nice pictures.

I really like the "6", it took me second, but it's clever. 8-)

Impressive! I always wonder what happens to all those planes that go out of service... surely they will keep some around as museumpieces and airshowplanes...

A few are given to museums, but most of 'em are sent to kingdom come.


Always sad to see the "last display" of something, may it be an army batallion or a squadron.

Or sent to RAF Cosford for storage.

This was the Jaguar's last day of operational service, but 6 Squadron will be disbanding on 25th May, which is when the last Jaguar flypasts will be (which I hope to be at).

nice shots steve. sad to see the cats go

they will probably be given the same treatment as the Tomcats!
some to museums, the rest just sitting in the boneyard!
i doubt that any will still be flying!
it would be nice to see though!

Correct on all counts.
