Did the Jaguars which took part in Operations Granby and Warden keep the
light grey(?) colour of the main and front landing gear, or were these
also painted in the desert pink camouflage. It is difficult to find a
clear picture of one of these machines with the gear down and not in
shadow. Derek Shaw

Looking at the pictures and artwork in "Gulf Air War Debrief," it appears
that the landing gear was kept in the original grey color.

I can catagorically state that the gear and inside the U/C bays stayed
the usual grey / zinc chromate colours.
