EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases SEPECAT Jaguar GR.1A XZ112 / FE (msn S.113) of the Royal Air Force's No.54 Squadron, captured in 2005. The Jaguar, a product of the French-British collaboration between Breguet and Hawker Siddeley, is a twin-engine, multi-role combat aircraft that first entered service in the late 1970s. The image portrays XZ112 in its distinctive camouflage scheme, adorned with the insignia of No.54 Squadron, which was based at RAF Cottesmore in Rutland, England, at the time. The squadron, formed in 1912, is one of the oldest in the RAF and has a rich history in both training and operational roles. The Jaguar GR.1A, a versatile variant of the Jaguar family, is equipped with a variety of weapons and sensors, making it suitable for tasks such as ground attack, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare. XZ112, with its powerful Rolls-Royce Adour Mk 811 engines, is seen here taxing on the runway, likely preparing for another mission. The Jaguar's innovative design, featuring canards and a variable sweep wing, allowed it to excel in both low-level and high-speed flight, making it a formidable asset to the Royal Air Force's inventory. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Jaguar, which served with distinction until its retirement in 2011. The Tony Lovelock Collection, from which this image is sourced, is a renowned archive of aviation photography, offering a unique glimpse into the history of flight. This photograph, with its striking composition and meticulous attention to detail, is a must-have for aviation enthusiasts and historians alike.
