ABSTRACT
We present high-resolution VLA observations at 8.4 GHz of the seventeen 
FR II radio galaxies with 0.15 < z < 0.30 and {theta}_LAS_ < 190 arcsec 
from the sample of Laing, Riley & Longair, together with 5-GHz MERLIN 
observations of one source. Jets have been discovered in 3C 20, 4C 14.11, 
3C 234 and 3C 436, and well imaged for the first time in a number of 
other objects; the fraction of objects in the sample with definite or 
probable jets is 76 per cent. The properties of the hotspots of the 
objects and their implications for models of radio sources are discussed.

Key words: galaxies: active - galaxies: jets - radio continuum: galaxies.
