The Jaguar served with the Royal Air Force from 1974 to 2007 as a strike/ attack and reconnaissance fighter bomber, equipping eight squadrons in Germany and the UK during the Cold War, and was used in combat during the first Gulf War and in the Balkans conflict. Now at the end of its RAF career, it will be remembered as a rugged and reliable aircraft, capable of finding and putting bombs on a target in bad weather with unprecedented accuracy.
JAGUAR SUNSET portrays a favourite haunt of Jaguar pilots: the West coast of Scotland near Torridon looking towards the Island of Skye and Kyle of Lochalsh, an area where military pilots enjoy some of the most challenging flying in the world. Drawing on his own experiences as a Jaguar pilot, Mike Rondot has created a fine tribute and a fitting epitaph to an outstanding combat aircraft.
