"I think this RAF Display in the Meadows was in the early-1960s.  I seem to recall seeing it on my way to school 1960-65.

The other clue are the cranes in the background of this photo:

The cranes were used in the building of the tower block at the corner of George square/Middle Meadow Walk, which started in the early 1960s.
