Just one question:

What is a "Squark"?

Apologies - it was the Hawker Sea Hawk

A pretty little thing, and notably hardy and long-lived.


While we're on the FAA trail, AFAIK the Fairey Gannet never dropped
anything in anger.
Not strictly true. Gannets of 847 NAS were operational in Cyprus
between April 56 and November 59. They were on anti-smuggling (arms)
patrols and although as far as I know they never dropped anything in
anger they were there to do just that should the need arise.

Did the Indonesians ever use theirs in action?

I have no record, despite considerable research. Not sure if the
Gannets were operational through the period in question.
