At the conclusion of a short first operational flying tour at RAF Brüggen in Germany, this episode discusses my move to RAF Laarbruch, another Germany base, and my transition to the reconnaissance role.
As a now "experienced" Jaguar pilot, this was a pivotal point in my career since reconnaissance was a role that would dominate a significant proportion of my remaining time in the cockpit. I aim to give the listener a sense of the challenge, complexity, but also fun we all had flying the Jaguar in this role. It was without doubt demanding but we thrived on the competition and absolutely loved the fact that we got to be seriously good at what we did.
Towards the end of the tour (and this podcast) I outline some of the challenges that occurred not only as we transitioned the squadron to flying the Tornado, but also for me personally as I faced a tricky choice that would have a significant impact on the next direction of my flying career.
I really appreciate you listening and especially providing me feedback. If you enjoy this, please share it widely as I'd love more people to have the chance to listen.
