My guess is that the only British type to see no combat is the
Lightning -

Hi

You can add the Supermarine Swift and Gloster Javelin to that list.


Its already been mentioned that the Javelin saw service in Malaya
operating from RAF Butterworth

Keith, did it actually shoot, or at least get shot at? There were one
or two US type aircraft that made it to emergency areas, such as
Lebanon and Quemoy, but never apparently engaged in combat--is that
the case with the javelin in Malaya, or did it perform CAS? I can't
seem to find any evidence either way.
