A former RAF pilot from Yorkshire has been reunited with the Sepecat Jaguar aircraft at the Yorkshire Air Museum he flew during the Cold War nearly 40 years ago.

The Sepecat Jaguar XZ383 has gone on display at the Yorkshire Air Museum near York after being donated by the Royal Air Force . Two volunteer guides at the museum have been reunited with the cold war jet they both flew during their time as RAF fast jet pilots. The Jaguar is an Anglo-French designed, single seater attack aircraft that first flew in the 1970s and retired in 2007.

“I was a pilot in the air force for 21 years, my first operational tour was with Nimrods, maritime anti-submarine aircraft which I captained. “After that I became a flight instructor at Linton-on-Ouse, I spent five years instructing and subsequently converted from my original multi-crew to fast jet Jaguars. I spent the last eight years in the air force flying Jaguars.
