Yes I remember the Green Gilberts but that's about it. Think Keith Holland led them. Probably 1977.
The late, tragically killed Sqn Boss? If so, I took the Station photographer to the accident site (the Harrier squadron was deployed in the field) and we flew over and around the still smouldering aftermath for the BOI photos. A sad and sobering scene.

I think his was the third Harrier accident I attended (did this for a Jaguar one, too, just south of Gutersloh). Thankfully the rest of them got out alive.
