Never mind the Starfighter. Since WWII, has the RAF ever shot anything down? Own goals excluded (of course).
To slightly misquote Churchill: Never, in the history of defence spending, has so much been spent on so few to achieve such little.
Oh, FFS, not this tired old question again?
Short version...
1948 4x Egyptian aircraft bagged by RAF Spitfires
1949 2x Israeli aircraft bagged by RAF aircraft - all hushed up for politics
1950s A bunch of MiGs bagged in Korea by RAF pilots on US F-86 exchange (RAF fighters not deployed to Korean War)
1960s 1xC130 bagged by a Javelin and a manoeuvre kill against a MiG17 by a Hunter - all hushed up due to politics
1970s - RAF pilot bags Yemeni MiG - hushed for politics (some of the Yemeni stories were only finally revealed in the press in Jun 11 by the Telegraph)
1970s - Lightning allegedly bagged an unmanned Harrier
1982- RAF pilots on exchange with the RN bagged some Argies
1982 - F4 bagged a Jaguar by mistake
1991 - Mudmovers bag a bunch of Iraqi aircraft on the ground - including a JP233 round that bagged a MiG on take off
Nothing in the past 20 years, but then there hasn't been a British air-air kill since then.
