often filling in for the F3 and others when Italy was clamped

If you want to get p!ssy, how about the F3s that flew escort for the rescue package to go and get one of your SHar boys (intials November Romeo flying in a FRS1) who had been shot down over Boz during a re-attack? FRS1 unable to provide effective sweep/escort for package due to being sidwinder-only capable against MiG 29 - so just how effective was that "filling in"!?. Also, in the summer when the sea-bean used to have to ditch weapons over the side when you couldn't land back on your through-deck-cruiser? There were lots of land based assets that could take a bigger load feet-dry and then return back to their base if they didn't drop.

There is a saying about glass houses and throwing stones...
