Was the Jaguar the only aircraft with over the wing missile capability?

Theoretically one could classify the overwing rocket pods used by some Lightnings as "missiles" but generally I believe you are correct.

Got these two in the mail over the weekend, a remote operating base refueling demo from the V-22 to the F-35B.  I could see this as a basis for a diorama with a F-35B in Blue Angels markings and a MV-22B in the markings of their support aircraft.

A redneck V-22 effort!  I wonder how it does with the jumping over police cars stunt that the "Dukes of Hazzard' were always doing?

Pretty well, from the look of that photo, it's already getting airborne. ;)

It's the Bernard V.4, a racing aircraft. The V.4 was actually a land adaptation of the Bernard H.V.120 seaplane racer.

"Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waist_Deep_in_the_Big_Muddy) instantly came to mind.

The last of the few: Photographer captures pin-sharp images of the final 55 airworthy Spitfires using just a handheld camera
  • Air-to-air photographer John Dibbs spent years hanging out of fighter planes to capture stunning shots of Spitfires
  • Using skill and experience of former RAF pilot Tim Ellison, Dibbs flew to within 15ft of the hugely iconic planes
  • Battled extreme wind and noise to shoot through open canopy with handheld camera to take remarkable images
