Surely 'knife fight in phone box' 1v1 brawls are so last century now?

BobV, from what I saw in that excellent TV series about Valley, your AD training has moved on a long way from the old 'doggers over the oggers' stuff we did at TWU - and rightly so.

The FAF have always been good at knowing other aircrafts' strengths and weaknesses. During 1982, some Mirage F1 mates came to Wattisham to give the F-4 sqns some DACT. We thought it would be a breeze and it was - for the French! Because they knew precisely where their little jets and Matras held the advantage.
