Last RAF kill
Quote
(eg: "but the Javelin held on for a few years longer in the Far East, where it gained its only air to air victory - an Indonesian C-130 which crashed while trying to avoid a Javelin that had been sent to intercept it during the Malayan crisis in 1964.")
Waiting for accurate info on this. Circumstantial evidence known: On the night an Indonesian C-130 spread itself over SW Malaya a 60 Sqdn Jav returned to Tengah missing one Firestreak, but with missile shoe still attached, and signs of missile firing. Crew announces 'in flight emergency requiring jettison of missile'. Scepticism on part of groundcrew followed by a end-of-shift briefing on the 'true' story as above, and anyone suggesting otherwise, especially to press, would encounter 'feet not touching the ground, doors slamming, throw away key' syndrome.
Never heard any more. When does the Official Secrets Act expire?
