The Royal Navy had plenty of chances in crying Foul via the Chief of Staff's Committee had the RAF actually done so and that would be minuted and held in the National Archives (Files DEFE 4/195/9 or DEFE 6/95C/7 would be a good bet). Had the RAF actually done such a thing, it would most likely be in FIle AIR 19/997. Of course if you really need to extend the range of a TSR 2 or F-111K outside of the area's it can cover without AAR, deploy a Tanker!!!
