I've no idea then to be honest Carlos - it does seem a bit strange I grant you. Maybe when I get the sheet it might explain itself a bit more. It's not really a problem though, it was the Upper Heyford markings that I wanted the sheet for, rather than the Libyan connection.

Maybe Microscale just needed to pad out the sheet LOL! :headslap:
That would be my guess. All the aircraft on the sheet are command birds, flown by squadron or wing commanders.

Well I just found this article… apparently the Upper Heyford F-111s flew a rehearsal version of the strike to test the mission profile. So they were tangentially involved.

Ah interesting. It 100% makes sense why they'd use the F model rather than the E. It's nice to know the UH lot had a small part in it.

Thanks foor sharing the link Carlos.
