One-off Naval variant. The first flight of the Jaguar M05, registered F-ZWRJ, was carried out at Melun-Villaroche by Jacques Jesberger, test pilot for the Breguet firm on November 14, 1969. On April 20, 1970, the aircraft successfully completed its first landing tests on the ASSP runway at Thurleight, Bedford, United Kingdom. On July 8, it performed its first touch and go on the aircraft carrier Clemenceau off Lorient. A dozen cycles were conducted from the 8th to the 13th before the first real catapult launch was performed on the 10th by LV Daniel Pierre.
