XZ118- possibly the only aircraft in RAF history to destroy a lorry (Large articulated fuel tanker) with a sidewinder missile.
GW1- Returning from a sortie-
All cannon rounds, bombs and CVR7's had been used when the tanker was seen. Pilot got a lock on the exhaust stack and loosed one off- straight down the tube.
Jag mate 1 - Iraqi tanker 0

Or was this just a nasty rumour?
