A Mystere in Suez crisis markings, a Hunter and a RAF 23 Sqn Phantom at the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum.
The Hunter and the Phantom were, of course, part of the UK front line defence in the 1950's to early 1990's.
This particular Phantom was a reserve aircraft for the Flight of four sent to the Falklands as local defence in July 1982, following the end of the Falklands conflict, and bears the Falkland Islands crest, flanked by the 23 Sqn "bars" on the nose. I'm fairly sure that this is the aircraft I was shown around, at Coningsby, a couple of days before the Flight departed on their long journey south.

As the island is made of sheep i propose they named it after the main inhabitants.
So Wooley flight consits of Dewdrop, Cream Puff, Sherbert and Mittens.

What B-50(?) variants are these?

 

[Wurger]

IMHO,

the first shot presents Boeing KB-50J (S/N 48-0088, originally B-50D-90-BO) of the 421st Air Refueling Squadron.

the second one looks like the B-50A LUCKY LADY II (S/N 46-0010) that performed the first nonstop round-the-world flight, from 26 February to 2 March 1949. Total flight time was 94 hours, the B-50A being refueled four times by KB-29Ms.

The several thousand original inhabitants of the islands, the Penguins would like a word; they were there first and they're bringing an aircraft carrier...
