41(F) Squadron GR.3A Jaguars (XX752/FC, 2 of XZ104/FM and XX835/FY) depart Coltishall. The two-seat Jaguar T.4 (XX835/FY) is typical of all T.4 departures in venting out surplus fuel from the nozzle at the rear. |

Left to right: 41(F) Squadron Jaguars (T.4 XX835/FY and GR.3A's XZ118/FF and 2 of XZ355/FJ), returning in gusting cross-winds, note the one wheel landing in the second image. This is not so hairy as it looks. Landing with one wing low for some aircraft types is the approved crosswind landing technique. It helps the pilot maintain the centreline, avoid sideways drifting and reduce side loads on the undercarriage legs. Where objects under the wings may strike the ground a crab technique is employed. |
