The French took on this aeroplane as a trade off for the R.A.F. buying their helicopters. They put no effort behind selling it elsewhere in the world prefering to back their own indigenous companies such as Dassault. One has to remember though that only 50% of the contemporary Mirage F1 is made by Dassault the same as the Jaguar. However, after much work and in house improvements the R.A.F. ended up with a pretty good and reliable tactical reconnaissance aircraft. That is until such time that the politicians stepped in and got rid of it as the money needed to keep it flying was going to be needed in foreign aid to enable some third world despot and his family to buy yet another palace, private jet and home in Monte Carlo. reply | | malu, 18.06.2011 12:30 By the time it was retired by the RAF it was a superb ground attack / close air support aircraft much admired by air & ground crew alike. reply | | Phil, e-mail, 02.04.2011 12:15 The engines are Rolls-Royce /Turbomeca not R-R /Turbo-Union! reply | |

Typical of the MOD to retire them all so soon after an expensive upgrade. reply | | DAVE HIGSON, e-mail, 10.09.2010 22:03 worked on jag air intakes for 20 years at bellhouse hartwell aircraft company , great little aircraft reply | | Ian Milne, e-mail, 11.06.2008 10:43 great museum. thoroughly enjoyed trawling through all the aircraft.
