RAF Sepecat Jaguar Nose Art Panel can opener
This panel was removed from a Sepecat Jaguar.
The Jaguar was initially developed as a collaboration between France and Britain for a training aircraft.
When the government cancelled TSR2 there was a gap in aircraft that the RAF needed, This was filled by purchasing F4's form the USA, Transferring Bucanneers from RN use and by transforming the Jaguar into a strike aircraft.
The strike capability meant that the Jaguar became a front line aircraft in Germany against the Warsaw Pact.
This panel was acquired from a Jaguar restoration but the paint was worn so we have repainted in dark Grey.
The rear of the panel has the original yellow chromate primer and English Electric Preston (EEP) inspectors stamps.
We have added a grey circle and painted it with RAF 6 squadron emblem of a flying can opener and written Sepcat Jaguar on. The panel measures 21.5 cm x 41cm
