About this event

We are honored and extremely pleased to bring you an afternoon and evening of exclusive photography with the ex frontline Jaguars of the RAF. With special thanks to the RAF we are able to offer an opportunity to capture these wonderful aircraft that are still kept in flying condition in and around their hangars at RAF Cosford.

All profits from this event are going to the RAF Benevolent Fund.

The Jaguar’s, were front line ground-attack aircraft which was the result of a major UK/France collaborative programme, which followed agreement of a joint Anglo- French requirement in 1965. Entering active service at the height of the Coldwar these versatile aircraft saw active service around the world during their time as the RAF’s main attack aircraft. The Jaguar’s went on to replace the RAF’s Phantom aircraft and in 2003 celebrated 30 years of service. The Jaguars would then carry on in active service for another 4 years before ultimately being replaced by the Eurofighter Typhoon. Rather than sell off or scrap these iconic aircraft the RAF moved around 100 of them to RAF Cosford where they have successfully continued to play a major part in supporting RAF’s second to none training and engineering programmes.

Our evening will see around 10 of the Jaguars participate in our shoot, these will include Single Seat, Twin Seat, Camouflaged, Grey, and of course ‘Spotty Jag’ XX119. Our session at RAF Cosford will start around 16.30 allowing us to be in place and ready for sunset. Then as the sun sets we will be turning on our lights and adding further dimensions to the shoot with the addition of personnel, ground equipment and one or two other surprises to keep you shooting all evening.  As a major part of the Jaguars role is now supporting the RAF’s Defence School of Aeronautical Engineering we thought one of the cameo’s should be inside one of the vast hangars at RAF Cosford adding even more unique opportunities.

We expect this shoot to be very popular, especially as 2016 will mark the end of ground running for the Jaguar fleet at RAF Cosford so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment. 

There will be food and drinks available throughout the evening thanks to the RAF’s airside catering team, and would urge you to support this opportunity as money raised from the sales will also be going to the RAF Benevolent Fund.

Event cost £65.00 per person.
