As an RAFG WIWOL mid 70's (you know the Sqn - there was really only one!!!) my observations:
As a low level day fighter - unsurpassed until the 'computer jets' arrived on the scene.
As an all weather interceptor and weapons system - awful
. Never developed, basic, fuel an issue, weapons rudimentary
.
As a legal 'high' doing illegal things - it was 'one hell of a hooligan machine'
Honoured to have flown and operated it - grateful never went to war in it.
