I seem to remember an occasion just after the Falklands War, when the R.A.F. were nailing sidewinders onto anything flying, a Nimrod claiming two 'kills' as Tornados carelessly overshot it dead ahead.

Top Gun
We know it wasn't P/O Wales as he's with the WIGS winning the War on Drugs. So who was it? Will he/she be in the MoD News next week?
To paraphrase KK, I'd just love it if it were an RN pilot...

I must say it's a while since I left the cockpit but I didn't realise that Tucanos and VC10s had guns!
