I found this:
Three patrol aircraft over Manila bay during a SEATO exercise in 1963. Depicted are: A Lockheed SP-2H Neptune of No. 10 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force, a U.S. Navy Martin P-5B Marlin of patrol squadron VP-40, and a Short Sunderland MR.5 of No. 5 Squadron, Royal New Zealand Air Force. Corregidor island is visible in the background.

I was checking, as I was sure the RNZAF didn't operate Neptunes, but the Roo on the Neppy looked more like a Kiwi going the wrong way in the image!

I'm assuming the 'group' photo is purely publicity in nature. Pretty rare to see a SCIMITAR in flight, let alone in a very mixed formation, and could a Sea Vixen actually go slow enough to get a drink from a SPAD??
