That and a little bit of luck with the Avro Vulcan bombing mission. Nothing against your post, but still, great training and equipment can only do so much.
There is that line a nation crosses when trying to find a balance of too much or too less money spent on national security. Case in point (for both of us really, highly motivated to protect the homeland, against a not so motivate highly trained, professional foe) when y'all had the opportunity to manufacture a ton of Super-marine Spitfires before WWII was thought to even be a possibility. It was refused because of cost and the idea the UK did not need a lot of these pricey (compared to the Hawker Hurricane) fighters sitting around. Fast forward 5 years and Britain was scrambling to find used parts and make new aircraft to carry on the war effort.
