Please help me plan an airstrike !!
You are an aircraft carrier anchored in International waters of the coast of Mozambique.
Your target is - 17°43'05.85"S 31°02'18.61"E
Your choice of aircraft is only limited to being capable of carrying a sufficient bomb load to destroy your target completely.
You are not allowed to violate any countries airspace except that of your target.
You will encounter some enemy aircraft activity but pilot competence is limited.
Please calculate time to target and return, type of aircraft used and bomb load.

An ATC Vigilant T1
Engine Off above 1000ft .......provided it hasn't quit already due to unservicablity.
Avoid enemy a/c using stealth capability and instructor ego cloaking device.
If engaged: Jettison Cadet and thermal to gain max height to allow victory in the ensueing turning fight.
Time to target sometime next year.
Bomb load: the breakfast leftovers curry devoured at lunch in the mess.

Why bother with an aircraft carrier?
I'm sure $50,000 to a couple of Saffies would see a suitably-loaded truck across the border and on target within 48 hours. No need to own up to the UN, either.
Ask Mark Thatcher - I think he'd tell you who to call

GaiPilot will put in a diversion for us by mincing along Gaydon Road.
Eagle Pl would be a better approach as it points straight at the target.............no worries about left or right for the aircrew then!

Regardless of any subsequent plans, firstly ensure start-plan is set for some ungodly hour in the morning, just so the jets can be back for a the next wave. Ah....that's planning....

Or CALCM from an aircraft.... surely TLAM from a sub!
Although I think the tomahawk's tiddly little warhead might not fulfil the original criterion:
How about a Storm Shadow?

A bit of moral, political, and material support back in the '70s would have been more useful - the Rhodesians were our kith and kin - a wonderful functional country in which Brits today would be more at home in than present day England.
Why were you all so apathetic and passive back then when a bit of Britain was being torn to pieces? Why were (and still are) you so easily led by politicians and media people who have no interest in preserving the soul and vitality of your people?
