i don't think they would put you throught the pain of flying it again, getting back in a Roc makes you an ace, so they would give you somethng better, like a defaint.......................

I'm sure quite a lot of people in percentage terms made it back. I mean, as a Wing-Commander why would you throw Rocs into a situation which is impossible to win.
That situation for the Roc being any situation with an enemy aircraft.

I don't think the Roc was used that often. In fact I haven't seen anything about the Roc entering combat. I know that the Skua saw some.
