9 JAN 08: FINAL FLIGHT FOR JAGUAR

A piece of flying history took its final bow - in military colours at least - last month as the UK's last Jaguar jet was retired.

Renowned for its low-level capabilities, the QinetiQ-owned multi-role attack jet was the last of its kind in military registration after the RAF pensioned their last examples off this year.

Designated XX833, the flying testbed was piloted for the last time by Squadron Leader Andy Blythe and Wing Commander Paul Shakespear out of Boscombe Down, performing fly-pasts at long-time Jaguar bases RAF Coltishall and Coningsby.
