The following has no truth in it whatsoever:
Time frame: 1955-1960-ish
While it never was published, Tintin reported on further skirmishes between Arabex and Skoil over their westernmost oil plays in what is now Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. After significant disruptions of oil supplies to parts of Western Europe reached a certain disconcerting level, the respective air forces and peacekeeping armies of the British Nations were brought in to restore order. The English and Irish had their hands full in Egypt. As the Welsh Air Force was based principally in Morocco where most action was handled by the USAF, much of their time was spent singing. However the Scottish Air Force had most of the action in North Central Africa. Generals Gillespie, Stuart, and McDowell's men were noted for their strength and courage in battle with their motley group of aircraft before returning from sweat and sand to peated Whisky and cool salted air.
Sea Venom, Wyvern, Swift, and Scimitar: sand yellow top, light sand undersides, Scottish flag on outer wing, vertical tail. Heavily weathered by the time duty was transferred back to the UK. Noted pilots: Smith, Brown, Wilson, and Campbell.
Presumption: national prides existed between the nations of the UK, but the animosity levels were more akin to those between Minnesota, Washington State, California, and Ohio.
Silly Daryl Hopes: Airfix do the Vampire and Venom series plus the Swift and Scimitar in 1:48.
