Did you fly in this formation...
Was you a crew member flying in this Formation or know who was? This was 1991...
I'm the owner of A Canberra PR.7 Nose section, that very Canberra PR.7 in the photo WH779 and it's on display at Newark Air Museum.
I'm very keen to make contact with the crew of the PR.7 to help build on the Aircraft history.

Typhoon, you mean the short-nosed F3 that is the GR1? I guess you didn't look closely enough to see the cockpit in line with the intakes, the shorter radome, and the pod under the nose.
The PR9 was from 39 Sqn / 1 PRU and the PR7 from 100 Sqn, both temporarily repainted in XIII Sqn colours. IIRC the photo was taken to celebrate the reformation of XIII Sqn. Must admit I thought it was taken in 1990 (i.e prior to the sqn 'mini' deployment to GW1).
