D Reg does the first public fast taxy of the Bentwaters Cold War Museum's SEPECAT Jaguar GR1A on the 19th March 2022. 80 Knots was the target speed.

It was a good day, and all went to plan (almost). I was playing 'catcher' at the other end of the runway, to prevent any traffic crossing the active during the run. We did have a tech problem with the drag chute, and D Reg got a bit closer than planned, though well short of the overshoot area. The wind was straight down the runway, and the cat was coming at me in total silence!
I know Simon has a lot more footage, which hopefully he will post later.
