if you can quote aToW engagement during GW1 that resulted in an enemy kill I will admit defeat
Crab, your memory must be failing in your old age, because I'm sure that during your time at Wallop you will have heard of 654 Sqn's shoot during the battle for Objective Platinum(I think):

On 16 November 1990 the Squadron was warned for deployment to Saudi Arabia in support of Operation “Desert Shield”. By 2 January 1991 the Squadron was complete in Al Jubail and training for war against Iraq as part of the coalition forces. On 24 February 1991 the Squadron moved into Iraq in support of Operation “Desert Sabre”, and on the 26 February 1991 it engaged and destroyed 7 armoured vehicles of the Iraqi 12th Armoured Division
The vehicles being a number of T55s and MTLB.

In addition, there was the "Battle of Box Hill" when 651(or 661) Sqn engaged a dug in Iraqi position. It was only after that it was found to be a dummy position.

And, of course, there was Jeep's jeep!!
