When I was a Staff Cadet on 12 AEF in the late 70s the Boss, S/L JR "Jock" Ritchie AFC, was ex Javelins and he used to tell some great stories.

The one that sticks in the mind was when operating out of Tengah in the 60s during the confrontation in Borneo.

Went along the lines of not being allowed to use live weapons so resorted to lighting the 'burners at low level, the noise sounding like bombs were being dropped and at least hopefully scaring those on the ground.

PPRuNe Radar was there and heard most of the stories as well, he might remember a bit better than me.
