Another 'maybe' paint for Nigel's
Avro Tutor.
As I have alluded to in previous paints, four of the Greek Avro Tutors escaped from Crete to Mersa Matruh in Egypt (accompanied by a lone Fairey Swordfish to provide wayfinding), the references show that these four were later impressed into service as HK833, HK834, HK835 and HK853; and there the trail goes cold.
So let assume one of them was still present at RAF Mersa Matruh when the airfield was captured by combined Axis forces; sometime around 27th June 1942 and taken as a personal transport 'hack' by commander of 90th Light African Division.
Inspiration for this provided by David Staff aka DJS1.
Fs9 as I don't run FSX; sorry, feel free to convert.
