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. Brooks |
