Sepecat Jaguar GR3A to be replaced by the Eurofighter Typhoon in the RAF
No. 6 Squadron of the Royal Air Force operated the Jaguar from RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire until May 2007. As an offensive support unit, the Squadron used the Jaguar in the close air support (CAS) and tactical reconnaissance roles. The Jaguar is scheduled to be replaced by the Eurofighter Typhoon in RAF service. The RAF has announced that No. 6 Sqn will be the third operational front line squadron equipped with the Eurofighter Typhoon and the first with Tranche 2 aircraft. No. 6 Sqn is expected to reform in 2008 with the Typhoon at RAF Leuchars in Scotland.
