The above group of RAF flights were all copied on the RAF frequencies MQV-5 (5671) and MQV-2 (65xx) on AM rather than SSB. Traffic was heard on MQV-1 but in SSB, a mode not capable of being deciphered by the author at that time. The aircraft type is uncertain but based on the callsign format, they may have been HS-125 Dominie's, e.g. MOWNC was XS732 - 6th August 1971, and MPJQD was XS713 on the same date.

These three Royal Netherlands Navy SP-2H's, were operational out of St. Mawgan. The deployment consisted of three aircraft 204, 217 and 218.

This aircraft started life with PanAm as N812PA and joined Pomair as OO-TCP in May 1971. It was later leased to Air France, Air Ceylon and Sudan Airways under the same registration. It subsequently went to Capitol Air as N900CL in May 1975 and briefly with TAE as EC-CUS before reverting to N900CL under which registration it served with United Air Carriers, Overseas National Airways, Saudi Arabian Airlines and Rosenbalm Aviation before it was finally withdrawn from use and scrapped at Medford (KMFR) in June 1982.
