TS-1 jet fuel

I understand that XV230 was using TS-1 jet fuel which is a kerosine type fuel with slightly higher volatility (flash point is 28°C minimum) and lower freeze point (<–50°C) compared with Jet A-1.jet fuel.
What type of fuel does Nimrods use in the UK and what are the flash point temp for the fuel and what is th freeze point compared with its normal aviation fuel ?
