Odd, I thought that incident was against a Lear Jet. Bloody
memory......

Oh, your memory isn't that bad. On 7 June, HMS Exeter actually destroyed a
Learjet 35 on a photo-recce mission -- shot it out of a clear sky at 40,000
ft with Sea Dart (near the outside edge of the Sea Dart envelope it seems,
as a first missile fell short).
