Phantom tails -The colour days

I wonder if anyone can list me what Phantom’s had the colour tails and codes and what years.

I have examples like XV420 which had the red tail of 56 Sqn and XV470 56 Sqn

what others 19,56,74,92 sqns

Can anyone list them and have photo’s

Yep its a quizz to have to sit down and search but iam so lost with my research on them.

Thankyou if you can help and sorry for blocking your thread reading.

Classic Man,
Time tramps on, but ALL the aircraft in your image are now retired from flight…

When they were all being scrapped it’s a pity no one thought to get one of each example & put them on a hangar wall someplace…
