Jaguar mainplane differences GR1A and T2A

[fatbaldchief]

Here is one for the Jaguar Rigger boys out there:

Is there any difference between the mainplanes on Jaguar GR1A aircraft and T2A aircraft?

Could the mainplanes be swapped between aircraft?

Thanks in anticipation DT_Xtremez_28:

Major difference is that the GR1 had a HF ariel built into the stbd No 1 Leading Edge Panel (a large part was di-electric). The T-Bird wing had a metallic panel.
The GR wings also had the provision for Overwing Winder plyons post GW1.


However the wings were the same in mounting and in all wing mounted looms and attachments (bar Sidewinder mods) are the same.

Guys I work with, who did the last wing changes at Colt, say that a GR wing was fitted to a T-bird. It was only realized when they tried to fit the square "No Step" panels. These needed to be trimmed to fit but the aircraft flew with it under a concession............

Do the words "Everrett" and "Aero" spring to mind on this thread?

Oh, |I think some of the wing bonding points are slightly different, but couldn't confirm that....


Small point....

Way off my friend, still RAF, thanks for the advice DT_Xtremez_30:

PS I think Everrett Aero have GR3As for £12000 complete with donks! Bargain!
