These are B-50's right ? (photo info says B-29's over UK June 1952)' Triangle C is the 303 BG, but they only seem to be listed as operating the B-29 ?

You are correct, sir. The taller tails of the B-50 are very clear.

Triangle C on a B-29 or B-50 is the early 50's fin marking for the 509th Bomb Wing I believe.
1952 was the year of their third and final deployment to the UK with these types of aircraft.

We have been cataloging my deceased friend's photos from the same time period; 55th Strat Recon Wg deployments to Mildenhall in the KB-29M, supporting their Wing's RB-50s.
