Unfortuantely the markings on the tail can't be seen. But the proportions of the fuselage and underside roundels , the lack of the Sky band on the tail and the digit seen partailly on the fuselage before the intercooler exhaust door make me believing these are not the RAF Jugs but the French kites.
