For anyone curious, the blue finned Voodoo is F-101C 56-0019 of the 81st TFW, Bentwaters.
There's a similar photo on the Air Britain site showing the full serial.

Superb. Remember being taken to that show as a nipper and have a b+w print of that Voodoo taken on our box Brownie. My favourite has to be the 18 Sqn. Valiant which I always thought a lovely looking a/c. XH558 carries the badge of the OCU. Fast forward a few years to when 'Eve of Destruction' topped the charts many of the airmen were sporting CND badges on their tunics to my father's disgust.
