DH Sea Hornet F20 "456"/VZ708

I've been trying to find some photos of this particular Sea Hornet for a while, and though I've found a couple, I haven't been able to find a particular one of it flying near/over Gibraltar. Any help here would be appreciated.

IMHO the image was taken during the same flight ...

I've seen those photos before (at least online). What I'm looking for an a color image of that Sea Hornet taken from a roughly front right 3/4 view in flight. It was used in the "Aircraft of the World" booklets in the 1990s, and was also used in an encyclopedia-like book series about aviation that was published in the 1970s. So I've found that image in print, but never online. Oddly, not even the Tony Buttler book Hornet and Sea Hornet had it, and I sort of doubt that the Valiant Wings DH Hornet and Sea Hornet book will have it (though both feature color profiles of that aircraft for modelers).
