His. I am a massive fan of the Jagaur ever since the first gaulf war. I am currently trying to make this fine, fine plane into a 3d model but I can not find any good quality blueprints of her…

Great site, nice to see the Jaguar has it’s enthusiasts.

I had the great priveledge to work at BAC Warton in Flight Test as a Computer Operator on the Jaguar flight test program from 1975 until the end of testing.
For any computer buffs out there the machines used to analyse all the flight test data were 2 Honeywell DDP516 computers, one had 16k of memory the other had 8k (yes Kilo not Meg or Gig).
Attached to these were five 1/4″ tape drives, an ASR/KSR 33 Teletype each, and six 16 channel pen recorders which had previously been used on the TSR2 project, before that i was told they started life in Blackpool Victoria Hospital in the cardiac unit.
2 Single platter hard disk drives (100k per cartridge) provided the main program storage, all this was programmed by paper tape.

They were very happy days for me with my colleagues in the Jaguar computer ops team, Mike Highton and Dave Leeming.

Sad to see the last of the Jags retired, but all good things come to an end and the memories will last a lifetime.
