The aircraft's impressive capabilities were a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the BAC design team. Wg Cdr Jimmy Dell's expertise and experience were invaluable during the testing phase of the Jaguar S07 XW563. His role as the Division Chief Test Pilot at Preston, coupled with his extensive knowledge and skill, ensured the successful development and implementation of this revolutionary aircraft into the RAF's fleet.
