I thought the Jaguar was phased out by the RAF. Was this decision reversed?

This is one operated by Kinetic (spelt - QinetiQ) and owned by the MOD. It is used for testing and evaluating various kit for eventual military use.

The Tornados will often fly hundreds of miles to their targets (refuelling on the way) to practice their wartime role. These GR4s were from RAF Marham but Scottish examples will also fly through on occasions and they are many miles from home. They also 'target' power stations, bridges and even houses in the area though without dropping the stores of course.
