Jaysi;

In the Mirage DACT which kind of missiles did your Lightnings use, Firestreak or Red Top? You said that "their missiles were generally better than ours in terms of range and aspect". But according to the National Archives documents I found about Red Top, its IR seeker once locked onto a reheated F-4K at a distance of 13 miles and a relatively closer Buccaneer. Both were locked from the front. And Mirages' R550 Magic do not have all-aspect capability. So I wondered if your Lightnings used Firestreak at that time? Or the Mirage alreadly used Magic II instead of R550 Magic? When was the Mirage DACT?
Thanks in advance.[/left]
