Buccaneers were operational in the Gulf War and I believe Venoms did
ground attack in Malaya and Sea Venoms operated in Korea


No Sea venoms that I'm aware of. Only the Colossus-class light fleets

were
deployed to Korea, and they had air groups of Seafires or Sea Furies and
Fireflies.


Venoms saw action in Suez 56.




McDonnell F2H-4 Banshee, North American FJ-4B Fury, deHavilland
Vampire, Yakolev Yak-25A, Dassault Ouragen, McDonnell FH-1

Vampires saw service in Korea I think


Meteor.


I believe Vamps were used in combat by Rhodesia and South Africa, and
(possibly) by Jordan , India, and Egypt.

Just read about a clash between Israeli Meteors and Egyptian Vampires last
night in fact. (By which I mean I read about it last night, it happened in
the 50's)
