HRH in Air Miss??

I remember an incident in 1969 when Chas was learning to fly on the Chipmunk T10, on the pull-up into a loop, they suddenly spotted an aircraft directly above. The instructor (M.P. if I remember rightly, those are the initials - he wasn't an MP) took control and rolled and pulled to prevent collision. It was very, very close, so we nearly didn't have King Charles III.
Anyone else remember the incident and confirm/deny/elaborate thereon?
