    Have landed at both Plett and George both nices spots. Waiting to line up at George i saw what looked like a taildragger land and then about 200 yards doen the runway it popped up onto its nose wheel, so after dragging its ass down the tarmac , did they stop and have a look? Nope they powered up and took off.

    India, could well be the dark horse here, rumours abound about there being a deal being done with India for a large number of Typhoons.

    Bits of info gleaned from elsewhere.

    The only other camouflaged aircraft in Egyptian service were Lancaster bombers, which by 1956 were completely obsolete and in the process of being retired. Painted in Medium Sea Grey (BS637) on upper surfaces and sides, and Matt Black (BS642) underneath, the Lancasters also wore no identification stripes.

    REAF has also purchased “demilitarized” Lancaster bombers. Their RAF serials and REAF (later EAF) serials were:
    PA476=REAF 1801
    PA441=REAF 1802
    SW308=REAF 1803
    TW894=REAF 1804
    PA435=REAF 1805
    PA391=REAF 1806
    TW890=REAF 1807
    SW313=REAF 1808
    TW656=REAF 1809

    Seems they had a few Halifaxs and Stirlings as well.
