Akrotiri Vulcans

One of my most pleasant memories was when I was sitting in Red Cross 1 alongside the runway at Akrotiri in about 1973. It seemed that every Vulcan that was there at the time was ready to take off, the noise and the vibrations were truly amazing! And watching them depart was a bit sad.
I seem to remember we had IX and 35 squadrons there at some time, what I cannot remember is if it was just one squadron or both that took off that day. Can anybody help me with this and how many aircraft would there have been?

Many thanks
