Chris,
I don't know if you've seen it before, but a TV network here in the U.S.- 
"Discovery Wings Channel" had a show on the Jaguar I think, two or three nights 
ago. It covered its development and use thru the first Gulf War. I also saw one 
show this week on the Vulcan. There's usually not much info on that bird over 
here. Maybe the network has a British connection, or it was "Brit Week" or 
something. Maybe you already know about it, but, if not, I believe they sell 
videos of their shows.

Best,
George S.
