I am CERTAIN that no Royal Air Force pilot has served on a conventional carrier
What, not even the ones who did exchange tours on USN Prowlers and USN F18?

fast jet squadrons are there in the UK and what are they doing
UK QRA. Training to support operations (FI QRA, AFG). Maintaining readiness to deploy on 'Call Me Dave's' next big adventure.

And one small FJ is helping to raise awareness, and money, for the RAFBF.

Edited to add:

Just seen this -

The F3 was mostly used at night as one of the few night capable CAS assets.
