 25 up for Coltishall's Big Cat
Over the weekend of 2/3 October 1998, RAF Coltishall was host to a variety of celebratory events to commemorate twenty-five years of operational service by the Sepecat Jaguar.
Coltishall's first experience of the Jaguar came in November 1974 when the first squadrons to equip with the type, 6 and 54, moved south from RAF Lossiemouth where they had been formed from the first pilots to graduate through the training component, 226 Operational Conversion Unit.
A third squadron, no. 41, converted from the Phantom and arrived at Coltishall in 1 April 1977, beginning an unbroken period of twenty-one years to date in that the three main squadrons have served continuously without change; this is most certainly some sort of record within the RAF, if not any world air force.
