Tanking extraordinaire ?

While rummaging through some old rubbish came across an old photo of a
SAAF B720 streaming three drogues with three Mirage F1's (Cheetahs?) belting along about 100' in trail. (Probably around 800' AMSL)
I remember it as an Air Show at Ysterplaat circa 1985 but I could be wrong - I am not aware of three drogues being out simultaneously on a 707, was this normal practice for the SAAF ?
