Can anybody identify this?

[ndl0071]

I was out today visiting a client situated on one of these out of the way small industrial parks and look what I found in the car park
Apparantly there is a chap who sells bits of it for the second hand market from the next door unit, I was told that the wings are 'round the back'! As ever I had my trusty 770SW in my top pocket.

Anyway I am struggling to ID it, so thought I would enlist your help my first thoughts were 'Jaguar' but I really am a bit out of touch on military aircraft, much better at civillian aircraft ID.

Any thoughts?

Takes me back to my earliest days at work. One of the first aircraft types I worked on as an apprentice back at the Strand road factory in Preston Lancs. As I started on the shop floor the project was coming to a close as production was ramping up for the Tornado aircraft.

Wow amazing! I had no idea Jaguar made military aircraft! Never seen them in the showroom near me they sure kept this quiet.

Sorry when I was in the RAF aeroplanes still had propellers. I went to Singapore on a Hermes, it took 4 days

That was easy, name the three vehicles and country of manufacture in the picture, two were made in the same country.
