Would this be the first time this trio of types had ever formated.

I know the Royal Navy had operated Sea Vampire T22's and the the Sea Fury T20 and I know some Royal Navy pilots were trained on Jet Provosts but how likely would this formation have been back in the day.

I recall During the late 1940s when the Fury and Vampire were in operation pilots were still being trained with Tiger Moths at HMS Siskin at Gosport. Don`t remember seeing any Provost trainers at that time.
