description: Originally intended as a trainer the Anglo-French Sepecat jet equipped with the very latest in weapon-aiming and navigational equipment eventually became the backbone of the RAF s tactical strike-attack and recce forces for a decade from the mid 1970s. In these pages the Jaguar Boys pilots engineer and ground crew tell of the aircraft s drawbacks and joys their sadness at losses and their pleasure at its development into a readily deployable and outstandingly capable fighter-bomber for the post-Cold War era. Then came the Gulf War which signaled the start of a hectic sequence of operational adventures and upgrades for the Boys and seasoned veterans tell of action over Iraq and in the Balkans. One of the best-loved of RAF types the Jaguar commanded a fierce loyalty and affection which shines through in these accounts of an aircraft that will live forever in the memory.
