I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

WD3, I gained the impression that the guy who took 21 shots was a single seater. These were all SA2 shots not AAMs and the closest was, IIRC, 500 feet although some actually passed closer before detonating.

I also believe this was when they were making single guided shots, albeit lots of them, rather than the later, often unguided, multiple launches.

No this was a quite different incident. Remember the first I recalled as a single engagement on one aircraft of a 16 ship formation of bombers.
