JaguHar SIG
Our aim – To be your first port of call for Jaguar and Harrier model and research questions
One SIG, two aircraft types. The Harrier SIG has helped modellers and researchers of the iconic jump jet since 1993. Newly badged, the SIG also includes the RAF’s other 1970s-2000s ground attack aircraft - the SEPECAT Jaguar.
Ex-RAF Wing Commander, Mark Attrill, who worked with Jaguars from 1981 until 2005 is the lead contact for the Jaguar. Nick Greenall, remains the lead contact for Harrier.
SIG members will have access to a wide network of Jaguar and Harrier enthusiasts, historians, modellers, serving and ex-RAF/RN pilots and maintainers to share information and knowledge. Please bear with us while we get the Jaguar side up to speed. How you can help us…
Active SIG participation is encouraged –building models, helping with displays, research, article writing, social media moderation, etc. SIG members are expected to contribute, in some way. We cannot work as a “one-way” group.
