Thanks to the West London Aviation Groups `South East Air Review` a report from Wattisham on 12 June'69 can narrow it down.

The flypast on the 14th was drawn from the following which were gathered at Wattisham on the 12th.
226 OCU Coltishall XM171, XM215, XS422 and XS449.
5 Sqdn Binbrook XS926/B, XS901/D, XS899/G, XS898/K, XR726/N and XR759/R.
111 Sqdn Wattisham XP738/E, XP742/G, XP751/L, XP761/N, XR719/Z and XS450/T.
29 Sqdn Wattisham XP705/B, XP757/E or F, XP736/G, XP707/H, XP737/J and XP737/L.
