Could be wrong, but here goes:

F-101,


Did recce over Vietnam, didn't it?

Gloster
Javelin,


Indonesian Confrontation, 1960s

Avro Vulcan,


Black Buck raids, Falklands

Handley Page Victor


Tanking in the Falklands and IIRC the Gulf, plus some "small war"
bombing IIRC.

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.

Tupolov Tu-16,


Egyptian raids vs. Israel, and I think Iranian Badgers saw some combat
in the Iran-Iraq war.

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.

Hawker Sea Fury


Korea.

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"

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.
