When was the last time the fast jet heroes of the Airforce actually shot anything down?
1947. Spitfire v Spitfire. (Quote by Green Freddie)
To be completely accurate, the last time an
RAF pilot flying an
RAF aircraft had a confirmed air-to-air kill was
22 May 1948, when Fg Off Tim McElhaw of 208 Sqn flying a Spitfire FR18 shot down an Royal Egyptian Air Force Spitfire LF9 as it was attacking an RAF detachment at Ramat David in Israel.
