UK air-to-air gunnery exercises in 70s/80s

Back in the 1970s and 1980s most air-to-air gunnery practice by Lightnings and Phantoms took place over the Med, but occasional live firing exercises against banner targets seem to have also taken place over UK sea ranges. Druridge Bay is mentioned as being one such range, another appears to have been off the Cornish coast (Start Point?) and another over the North Sea off Leuchars. Can anyone confirm where these ranges were and describe how the exercises were flown ?

Thanks, RS.
