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.
