I believe that when they say that the F-111s never fired a shot in anger, they're speaking of these specific F-111s.

The RAAF F-111's are mostly planes built in the late 1960's to early 1970's. They are still flying because of parts salvaged from retired USAF airframes.
I am surprised that the RAAF didn't buy the F- 15E, the plane that replaced the F-111 in USAF service.

F-111s flew in VIET-FRIGGING-NAM !!! They also bombed Libya and Iraq, and were some of the first combat aircraft into Saudi Arabia after Iraq invaded Kuwait.

The Air Force used Aardvarks to hit Kadaffy back in the mid 80s.
Ugly SOBs but excellent penetration bombers in the days before “brilliant” weapons. They had laser target illumination but that’s about it...
