Silver City's G-AMYV masquerading as an RAF aircraft for trooping runs to the Suez Canal Zone, where only 'military' aircraft were allowed by the Egyptians. Titles scrubbed out, but registration still faintly visible on the lower fin. Used RAF call-sign MODWB for these flights during 1953/54. Later to Air Kruise and BUA.
