Formation Flying question

Hopefully there is someone here who can settle a pub argument, before it turns into a full-scale brawl. The argument is about the numbering of the aircraft in a 'diamond nine'. The general consensus is the formation is:-

. 1
. 2 3
. 4 5 6
. 7 8
. 9

but I have reason to believe it may be:-

. 1
. 2 3
. 6 5 4
. 7 8
. 9

Can anyone who knows confirm which is right please.

(And the thing looked ok when I sent it. Damn editor keeps shifting it left on the line).
