Depends on the timeline ... see image here from 74/Tengah in 1970.

Lightning F.6Single-seat fighter (an improved longer-range variant of the F.3). It featured new wings with better efficiency and subsonic performance, overwing fuel tanks and a larger ventral fuel tank, reintroduction of 30 mm cannon (
initially no cannon but later in the forward part of the ventral pack rather than in the nose), use of
Red Top missiles. A total of 39 built (also nine converted from F.3 and 15 from F.3A).
i recall a conversation in the Bar where "Muldoon" claimed 3 'kills'. Two with missiles "... and if I had had guns I would have got the third one." Cue much ribald laughter!
I rest my case, M'Lud.
