There were also the occasions when Hunters went after Yemeni Migs attaking ground targets in Aden (or was it Oman?) in the 60s - I beleive some camera film showed gun strikes, but the Hunters were restricted from crossing the border to prosecute the kill. As to whether these MIgs made it home safe or not I don't know.
