The Glasgow Herald reported on 10 December 1983 that HMS Invincible's Sea Harriers "destroyed wave after wave of attacking Australian planes" in an exercise off Australia in 1983.
Does anybody have any detail about this exercise?

Mirages).
I asked on an ex-RAAF Facebook page, and the consensus was that no one else had
heard of any events as described. There were exercises involving the Invincible
and Harriers, but the supposed score line was roundly rejected.
