I can fill in a few answers.
I was on XV229 12 may 1982 southbound to patrol off Argentine coast when we spotted 707 going right to left. Co pilot wanted to chase but advised him that 707 was faster than us.
On 9 Jul we were back in UK doing fighter affiliation with 2 Phantoms one of which decided to do a singleton run. as he approached from behind us the Cap who was the Nimrod Display pilot hung the beast round and got behind the Phantom who had overshot and we definitely all heard the Growl from the seeker head. We then went back to Ascension in XV234 and brought her back from ascension 19 aug complet with nose art as per Airfix kit.
ex 201/1
p.s anyone have a sidewinder pylon spare as we want one for XV250 at Elvington - got a sidewinder but need the mounting
