Apologies for earlier error - doing too many things at once! I think you will find RAF pilots shot down Argentinian aircraft in the Falklands War - they were flying the SHAR as the RN had insufficient pilots to crew them. Interesting story here about one of them, Flt Lt David Morgan, who joined the Navy but left to join the RAF so he could fly fast jets. Eventually, after being on the RAF Harrier GR3, he was sent to the RN to fly the SHAR. He ended up shooting down 2 jets and a helicopter, plus destroying one helicopter on the ground. Here is a good Wikipedia article on the subject - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_...l_Navy_officer
