EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the power and grace of Jaguars from No.54 Squadron, as they line up on the tarmac at RAF Coltishall in 1974. The Jaguar is a versatile British-designed and built military aircraft, which first entered service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1973. The squadron was known for its transport and maritime reconnaissance roles, making this image a rare glimpse into their operations. In the background, a RAF Short SC.5 Belfast C.Mk1 of No.53 Squadron can be seen, adding an intriguing contrast to the Jaguar jets. The Short Belfast is a twin-engine, short-range transport aircraft, which was also a significant part of the RAF's fleet during the 1970s. The Belfast, with the registration number XR370 and the codename 'Ajax,' is seen taxying in the foreground, ready for takeoff. The image exudes an air of military precision and efficiency, as the aircraft and their crews prepare for their respective missions. The crisp autumn leaves and the clear blue sky add to the serene atmosphere, making this photograph a captivating snapshot of RAF history.
