The Jaguar remains in RAF service now with just two squadrons at RAF Coltishall, namely 6 and 41(F) Squadrons. The Jaguar, which entered service in 1973 is coming to the end of its service with the RAF. 16(R) and 54(F) disbanded in March 2005, their 'fittest' aircraft being taken up by the remaining squadrons. Consequently 6 Squadron now operates 16 Jaguar GR.3A's and a two-seat T.4. 41(F) Squadron operated 16 Jaguar GR.3A's and six T.4's before disbanding in April 2006, leaving 6 Squadron, following its move to RAF Coningsby in April 2006 as the last squadron to operate the Jaguar. It is due to disband on October 31, 2007 if not sooner. It will then reform with Typhoons towards the end of 2008.  The Fast Jet & Weapons Operation Evaluation Unit (FJ&W OEU) operated a single Jaguar GR.3A from RAF Coningsby (see below) before its retirement in December 2005.
