Red Pelicans Aerobatic Team

I am trying to put together a record of my service career and need some serious memory jogging! In 1962? I was detached from RAF Valley to be part of the technical staff for the Red Pelicans display season at RAF Little Rissington. Almost certain the aircraft were JP4's on which our first job was fitting smoke generators. That season displays were in Northern and Southern France, Belgium, Sweden and Germany, plus displays in the UK including Farnborough.
I cannot remember any of the pilots names, only that the skipper was a New Zealander, of the ground crew Sgt Jones, JT John Savage & myself, JT Chris Timberlake. Would love fill in the other names. I attach a photo of John (Tich) Savage on one of the team aircraft I have a photo of the entire team and aircraft which I shall post later.
