If I recall correctly back in 1970 an 11 sqn lightning on QRA also held the record for the greatest number of Russian Bear and Badger bombers intercepted in 1 sortie -- 80 of them in mixed formations coming around the North Cape. Bet that was a brown trouser job when he picked that lot up on his radar
