Seems they were never positively identified: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15958&p=95888&hilit=skua#p95888

Nor was it noted on a visit at Yeovilton earlier in the month: viewtopic.php?f=40&t=15900&p=88414#p88414

Sorry :(

On 28/08/2010, Skua flight was actually comprised of ZD266/302, XZ233/306, XZ721/309 and ZD259/350.
