Adrian just asked a good question,
who are the pilots in the colour photo, IWM only names one of them.

Ther caption in the original photo says these are pilots of the Poachers team. As they are stood if front of a JP painted grey and dayglo, that dates the photo as 1968 before their aircraft received special markings. I’m sure David Watkins could supply further info?

The aircraft in the colour photo is the Wing Commander’s aircraft at the RAF College which was XS181. I have a slide of this aircraft and also slides of the Vipers JPs which I will sort out and scan for you.
