Snow Cat

by Robert Tomlin

 

Jaguar GR3A from 41 (Fighter) Squadron based at RAF Coltishall and flown by Squadron Leader Ian Smith (Smithy) thunders down a Norwegian fjord.

Coltishall Jaguars regularly deployed on exercise in northern Norway as part of NATO's protection of its northern flank.  However, Spring of 2006 will see the closure of RAF Coltishall, the loss of an historic airfield.

Coltishall's last families' day took place on Victory Day, 17th September 2005 and was a very poignant and moving occasion.  Below are pictures taken during the beating the retreat ceremony, together with aircraft lined up under the dark clouds of the day.

                                                           

 

This is a limited edition of 250 copies, each flown in the Jaguar GR3A and signed by Squadron Leader Ian Smith.  Price £35 plus carriage.
