No. 41 Squadron re-equipped with Jaguars, replacing Phantoms in 1977, and the Squadron moved to its current home, Coltishall in Norfolk where it specialises in low-level reconnaissance. From there, the squadron has made numerous operational deployments including both Gulf Wars (Ops Granby and Telic) and Deny Flight (Balkans). This particular Jaguar GR.3 had its tail decorated in a special scheme for display flying by Flt. Lt. Derek Sington during 2005.
The Specat Jaguar is an Anglo-French ground attack aircraft still in service with several nations. The Jaguar served with Great Britain's Royal Air Force until the end of April 2007.
