Airfix 1/72 SEPECAT Jaguar GR.1 Plastic Model Kit

The aviation product of a 1960s Anglo-French collaboration, the SEPECAT Jaguar was a highly effective tactical strike/attack, close air support and reconnaissance aircraft in service with the Royal Air Force for an impressive 33 years. Featuring a high-set wing and long undercarriage, the Jaguar could be operated from grass airfields and roughly prepared landing strips, as famously demonstrated to the nation’s media on 26th April 1975, when the second production Jaguar GR.1 XX109 made a parachute-assisted landing on the carriageway of the soon-to-be-opened M55 motorway near Blackpool.

History

Born from a 1960s Anglo-French partnership, the SEPECAT Jaguar was a highly capable tactical strike/attack, close air support, and reconnaissance aircraft, serving the Royal Air Force for an impressive span of 33 years.

With its high-mounted wing and extended undercarriage, the Jaguar was adept at operating from grassy fields and makeshift landing strips. This capability was notably demonstrated to the media on 26th April 1975, when the second production Jaguar GR.1 XX109 executed a parachute-assisted landing on the soon-to-be-opened M55 motorway near Blackpool.
