There could have been RAF officers flying with FAA squadrons "on exchange" in the 1960s - there certainly was in the 1970s when it was ramped up considerably during the final cruise of HMS Ark Royal for the Phantom FG1 as well.

There are 2 x RAF officers in each of these photos - may both be Navs though.

809 Sqn 1963-1966:
