Mine says it was based in Egypt. Perhaps you're right. I'll do some more research and see whats up. Thanks for the info.

Here's the problem with those RAF Jugs. They're from an 73 OTU. OTU = Operational Training Unit. They were based in Egypt. They were not combat aircraft.

Photos I've seen have the camo as the gray/green upper surfaces btw.

The RAF only used Jugs in combat in the CBI. They initially established their training program for Jug drivers in Egypt.
