Not wanting to steal CT 7s thunder, but I think the Kiwi's may have even beaten your chaps into the Desert Shield/Storm.
Possibly as the Kiwis Green Sqn was on exercise in the UK at the time the baloon went up. They were however a bit upset at not being able to come home and gloat to the Black Sqn members first...
So you'll probably find both sides were there fighting it out on the rugby field. Who was tier what, who knows.

As an aside, the bombing speed of a F18 vs an A4 is 10 knots faster....just the F18 gets back to the showers first!
