Sorry - 10 Demerits.

Hornets were deployed in FEAF from March 1951 until June 1955 (33 and 45 Sqns) and were used primarily for rocket strikes against terrorists - although they could alternatively carry 2000lbs of bombs. Their fixed weapon armament was 4x20mm cannon. With a range of 3,000 miles that would give them a reasonable loiter time n'est pas?
