As far as I am aware, the last RAF pilot flying an RAF aircraft to achieve an air-to-air kill was Fg Off Tim McElhaw of 208 Sqn on 22 May 48.

This rather changes the period of the question which by its very nature would indicate that the RAF had shot down something in the Korean War. Maybe it should have read:

How many aircraft have the RAF shot down since WWII?

I guess the answer would be as above. Would appear that the FAA have had a greater success rate than the RAF (with the help of the few) no wonder the RAF were grinning at the demise of the mighty, combat proven , SHAR.
