FAST Aviation Archive
United Kingdom
Registrace 11. 10. 2013
Features footage from the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust (FAST) historic film archive including pioneering work into the research and development of British aviation, both civil and military, that took place at the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE). Some of the greatest advances in aviation technology emanated from its laboratories and workshops, and working alongside the scientists were expert photographers who filmed many of their extraordinary experiments. FAST has rescued much of this unique footage from imminent destruction, as part of its commitment to preserving Britain`s aviation heritage.The archive, which also includes a vast collection of photos, spans most of the 20th Century, and is available for commercial licencing.

How the RAF & IAM Solved This Big Problem During WWII
What was the last ditch handle is now the standard handle.
What a waste of bridles. Surely they must of come up with a more suitable piece of kit.
The only aircraft that can fly lower than a Buccaneer is? ......Another Buccaneer !!!😅👍
What's that splash just ahead of the carrier each time an aircraft is launched?
It is the bridle which is used to launch the aircraft. In later years, bridle arrestor gear was used so the bridle could be reused. These too became obsolete with the introduction of the nose wheel arm which hooks into the shuttle as used on the American carriers.
Just shows how stable the aircraft was, at that height there must be some ground effect but that was a rock solid pass.
It's really good to see this video available on You-tube, over 50 years now since the initial Jaguar spinning trials at Warton - I was the flight test engineer who "managed" this particular trial, with the brilliant Tim Ferguson doing the incredibly brave stuff. I believe that Jerry Lee took over for phase 2, that's with the canopy detonation wiring fitted. It was a very exciting time to put it mildly, we made it into the local papers when the anti-spin parachute failed - it fell to earth but was never recovered - and If I recall correctly on one of the flights Tim diverted into Leeming with a fuel problem. Never a dull moment with this aircraft, prototype E02, which was primarily engaged in engine trials. But this isn't the full video, which includes an introduction and other commentary by Sandy Burns (truly one of the "Warton grates" and who I had the great privilege of sitting only two desks behind in Flight Test 50 years ago), and I hope my good friends at FAST can one day upload the whole video. And the last thing I did before leaving Warton in November 1974 was to fly in Jaguar B1/'XX136 behind Jerry Lee on its delivery flight to Boscombe, which sadly was its last landing...
I saw the American version of this show with Jerry Lee Lewis from BAT-21
Yes, but apart from that miniscule barrier problem, it looked easier to land than a ....... Seafire.
I remember it well....! Pressure breathing with G in conjunction with flight trials in a Hunter T7. Had to give blood after each trip - arm was like a junkies at the end! (mid 80s)

Have removed the disrespectful comments.
MY grandpa, dad, and uncleas , directly contributed to this program. There were ejection dummies. I did not live up to their standards. I ended being an ejection idiot.
Very good. Great video

Is Eric Brown doing the narration? It sounds like him.
See this would have been a neat premium for france rank 7 instead of the F1C, i like my naval aircraft man
Ahh Buccaneer, a real aircraft.
Very nice! 👍🙂
Hi. I must admit probably my most favourite jet fighter. Sleek yet tough. Good looking too.
Still got the looks. Nice.
I didn't know the UK did some of the trials work for Jaguar (N). I thought it was a wholly French venture.
Alton towers prototype 😅 seriously a very interesting video
Well, I never knew they'd got a carrier version going!
Yup, but it never went into production, as it was unltimately found underpowered for actual carrier use.
Dassault had a hand in killing the Jaguar M, in favour of the Super Entenard.
Though the underpowered nature of it could have been improved. With modifications, it could have been quite successful. Ultimately though, as others have pointed out, Dassault used its influence to kill the project. The irony is that a more powerful Jaguar M with radar could have allowed the Marine Nationale to retire their Crusaders decades earlier. Though the Crusader was a good fighter, it would have allowed the MN to focus their entire air wing on just Jaguar Ms (plus the usual Alizés and helicopters).
@@edsutherland8266 Thanks Ed for the reply. It seems to be a 'thing' by the RAF to get rid of designs early on rather than cash the benefits of lessons learned, often leaving silly gaps in capacity: The Sea Harrier being the obvious example (a gap still not filled by the F35). A re-engined, fly-by-wire Jaguar w would have been an excellent development.
@@shawnc5188 Politics again, I suppose.
stunning.
The French versions had uprated engines from the start, compared to the RAF kites.
Is this true? They used the same engine: Turbomecor adour French had Mk 101 as they entered service first but the RAF planes had the upgrades Mk 102, 104 and 106.
@@Sleepysod To be honest, it is only hearsay from aircrew I am going on. In Germany, the Jag was always being joked about for its lack of thrust. The French fixed the problem with the afterburners, vital for the carrier kites. We used extending nose gear and emergency afterburners on our FG1, F4 Phantoms on the Ark Royal.
In truth, if we had proper Catobar carriers we would be buying French Dassault Rafale jets today!
'proper CAATOBAR carriers'? Why 'proper'? The UK F-35Bs go off the QE carriers with 22,000Ib of weapons, the 'C' variant goes of a CATOBAR with 18,000Ibs. STOVL carriers can launch in far worse weather conditions than CATOBAR. As we proved in 1982. Even without SRVL retrievals a QE can launch aircraft at 30 second intervals. As they proved during CSG21. ANd initial sorties are faster than CATOBAR. 'proper carriers' launch aircraft. Nothing to do with catapults.
If the UK operated CATOBARs still, they'd still be flying F-35s. Only the C model, not the B model. The Rafale is a very capable aircraft (and could probably beat the 35 in a knife fight), but it loses out in stealth, sensor fusion, and electronic capabilities.
C'est la société française Bréguet concurrent de Dassault le jaguar a été fait par la société Breguet😊😊
Underpowered?
I’ll have a goo
So easy to take off and winter 🙂💪👍
The greatest piston engined plane in history.
Always good to see a Derry reversal...
wonderful film , just imagine it though great aircraft anyway shame these beauties are lovely and missed
Very cool 👍👍
An Anglo French aeroplane. But competed against Dassault export models so never that popular with the French even though it was an excellent aeroplane.
The french sacked the project on purpose so that it could push its own models to its client nations....
@patelrohan5083 yes. That is true.

Lovely bird, indeed, in all it's versions! May be could be actual to this time.
It just looked so very smart in those colours.
Sadly never ordered into production as the FN preferred the all French, Super Etendard.

Non c'est un problème franco-français c'est la société Breguet qui a travaillé sur le jaguar il était en concurrence avec la société Dassault😊😊
Can't say she didn't warn you...
Nowadays they do this on airshows for fun.
what aircraft was the one in the first clip?
Maybe a de Havilland Vampire
An excellent upload thank you. It is extraordinary to think that HMS Victorious was prematurely retired nearly sixty years ago now.
Hope the crew were on Oxygen!
looks fun.
Why the a/c pack deselection?
A good book to read is Front Line and experimental flying with the fleet air arm by Geoff Higgs, he was probably flying in a lot of the trials on these videos.
I remember watching this in training in the late 70s, later on I had 2 Jollies in Jags at Lossiemouth great fun
They wave flags on top of the cockpit as similar acknowledgement to the sea ships. 😂
Jet fuel coming out the engine inlets AND exhausts!! Yikes.
Not incidence. Angle of attack.
The chief pilot uses the term "high incidence" multiple times - he knows what he's talking about I'm sure. Often of course "high incidence" equates to a high AoC. The term "high incidence" is used for a low speed stall at high altitude.
Attack/incidence - same thing.
@@abagatelle The angle of incidence should not be confused with the AoA. AoA is the angle the wing chord presents to the airflow in flight. Whereas AoI is a fixed angle on most fixed-wing aircraft - it's the manufactured mounting angle between the wing chord line & a reference line [often the direction of minimum drag, or where applicable, the longitudinal axis]. I repeat: The angle of incidence is fixed in the design of the aircraft, and with rare exceptions, cannot be varied in flight. nb some engineering texts that focus solely on airfoils may use either term, but practical aviation recognises a distinction.
@@nightjarflying Sure, but in common use they're equivalent - as I learned at ETPS.
Very interesting. During my undergraduate apprenticeship at Warton , in about 1970, I spent 3 months in the Flight Test department. The Lightning spinning trials were over, and I helped prepare graphs from the telemetry tapes. A number of Lightnings had been lost during medium level high g tail chase manoeuvres. Recovery was achieved by “letting go” of the control column…..that’s how it was put to me, but it was probably by centralising the column, and not by trying to recover by pilot input. The A/C would roll and when unloaded, control was regained. If mishandled, then the ensuing spin , had such a high rate of descent that from medium level….15,000 ft…that recovery was impossible in the available height. The test aircraft was fitted with a tail chute .
