Elementary My dear Peter
As I spend a good portion of my time trawling for stuff for Mr Russell's latest project Im getting fairly competent at tracking things down
By the way WP212 is one of the orginal production run of Valiants and was probably visiting from RAF Gaydon

Thanks, Leif. I must admit I thought they were all in 'anti-flash' white at that time but obviously not. Just shows how much I know about Valiants!
