You're doing this deliberately, aren't you ?
I get an army quiz instead of a navy one, and now a fixed-wing instead of one on jelly-copters. >:( ;D
Never mind, I'll have a go: and if the following answers fail to yield 0.5 of a point I think I'll go and join the CND. ;)
9) Vulcan
10) Nimrod
11) Tornado
12) Hawker Hunter

12) Hanley Page Victor, GB.

6) To fill in details is the English Electric Lightning, GB, my friends got one of them!

Well done Sav!

As for no 8. It is not a Javelin and a clue is it is not UK.

14b is Russki and the Tomcat was escorting the TU(polev)142 Bear spy plane
