Could be wrong, but here goes:
F-101,
Did recce over Vietnam, didn't it?
The original poster discounted that use, but you are correct--it also
collected bullet holes over Cuba.
Gloster
Javelin,
Indonesian Confrontation, 1960s
Did it shoot at anybody, or get shot at?
Avro Vulcan,
Black Buck raids, Falklands
Ooops! I think I called them "Black Bart"! Too much time wasted
watching "The Simpsons", I guess...
Handley Page Victor
Tanking in the Falklands and IIRC the Gulf, plus some "small war"
bombing IIRC.
Correct on the first two, but I don't think so on the
bombing--confusing it with Valiant, perhaps?
Fiat
G.91,
English Electric Lightning,
Folland Gnat,
Used in combat by the Indians.
BAe Hawk,
Used by several buyers for COIN against terrorists / ruthless repression
of noble dissidents.
Tupolov Tu-22
Libyan bombing raids vs. Chad, IIRC.
I believe you are right--I had the same general recollection.
Tupolov Tu-16,
Egyptian raids vs. Israel, and I think Iranian Badgers saw some combat
in the Iran-Iraq war.
I believe the Egyptians also used them in Yemen.
Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer
South Africans used them in Namibia, and they also flew combat in Gulf
War '91.
Dassault Ouragen
Used by the Israelis in 1967.
Amongst others, IIRC.
Hawker Sea Fury
Korea.
And Cuba.
