Pinky leaving RIAT (and others to follow)

[gremlin16]

Pinky heading home (or to the scrap yard) from RIAT. I was so glad to finally see it in the air. I missed it on arrival by 30 seconds.

Great shot

I love this colour scheme, I served in the RAF in Gulf War 1 with the Jaguars and they were the first to get the pink scheme, we were not sure about it at first but boy did it suit them

I was a cadet on summer camp at coltishall when they first painted the jags pink. I remember there was lots of banter about it at the time.

I was based at Colt, at the time, working in Operations. Flew out to the Gulf with 6sqn in August '90.
