MICHAEL
RONDOT - JAGUAR SUNSET
The
Jaguar served with the Royal Air Force from 1974 to 2007 as
a strike/attack and reconnaissance fighter bomber, equipping
eight squadrons in Germany and the UK during the Cold War,
and was used in combat during the first Gulf War and in the
Balkans conflict.
Now at the end of its RAF career, it will be remembered as
a rugged and reliable aircraft, capable of finding and putting
bombs on a target in bad weather with unprecedented accuracy.
JAGUAR SUNSET portrays a favourite haunt of Jaguar pilots:
the West coast of Scotland near Torridon looking towards the
Island of Skye and Kyle of Lochalsh, an area where military
pilots enjoy some of the most challenging flying in the world.
Drawing on his own experiences as a Jaguar pilot, Mike Rondot
has created a fine tribute and a fitting epitaph to an outstanding
combat aircraft.
