Scroll down the photos a bit. Could this be the one?
The one I saw was taken from below the front of the formation, and there were definitely more than 4 Lightnings. I didn't see any ground "clutter", but it may have been a low pass over the airfield and taken from the ground. It was mounted and did not look newly printed.

Both types were at the station at one time, 2 squadrons of Vulcans and 1 of Lightnings according to the Station's official history. As well as a fascinating list of other types resident or passing through.

Hey-ho, let's leave the gentleman to his memories.
