It's a damned shame we have disposed of the F111, there was nothing (and still is nothing) in the local theatre that could match it for long-range, low-level penetration. Yeah we got some F/A-18F Super Hornet aircraft to take over the role but they just don't have the range or low level ability that the F111 had.
