Your photo of XT 132 was taken at Middle Wallop if my memory serves me right! I trained there in 1965, and returned as a QHI in the late 60s 'til the early 70s. I've checked my log book and XT 132 was one of the Sioux I didn't fly, so you can't add a Royal Marine to your list unfortunately.
Below is a photo of XT 219, a Royal Marine B47 Sioux in less happy circumstances. Aden, Feb 1967, from Hover to Bother in one second. The only thing stopping us going over the edge was one of the blades stopping down slope, otherwise we'd still be bouncing!
