In April 1975, a single Jaguar was used to test the aircraft’s rough airstrip capacity, by landing and taking off multiple times from the M55 motorway in Lancashire England,


the final test flight was conducted with a full weapons load; the ability was never used in service but was considered useful as improvised runways might be the only runways left available in a large-scale European conflict.

Thanks Steve!
