Hey Captain Dart, I think you are right. In an earlier post on this thread Capn Bloggs reported a Lightning once shot down an unmanned RAF Harrier (I had never heard that one!), and of course we all know about the famous RAF Phantom on RAF Jaguar over Germany back in the 70s!

To credit the RAF with some success because they do have excellent training, it is often brought up that Lt Cdr Dave Morgan of Sea Harrier fame was Flt Lt Dave Morgan when he was a Falklands War hero. Several additional Falklands aerial victories in Sea Harriers were achieved by other RAF pilots who were seconded to the FAA at the time.

BTW, is this Wang Mirage a 2 seater? I thought you guys were saying it's a Mirage 3O. It won't ever take a passenger anywhere, let alone over the Swiss Alps!
