Yes I'm certain the Red/Whites were at Manston as I was a CI for a few years with London Wing (409 Sqdn).
WK18 features in my pax log book for 16th Jan 77 as very likely that day and I noted the callsign Alpha 46 as well.
Another date would be 2nd Jun 79 when I note a Wessex (XS675) flight over Pegwell Bay.
I'm almost certain that the silver WK518 is at Coningsby, given your update, date on the slide etc. The background suggests its on the western side of the BBMF hangar looking towards what is now the Typhoon pan.
Wasnt aware re the new paint job, will have to pop back there sometime.
Talking about colours, I always referred to the ETPS red/white/blue as the raspberry ripple but the scheme on WK518/WZ845 as just red/white. I'm I wrong?
