A Canberra taking off from Akrotiri during the 1956 Suez War. The aircraft is probably a PR. 7 of No 13 Sqn, or from the 58 Sqn flight attached to No 13 during the crisis, since these were the only Canberras based at Akrotiri at that time. It carries yellow and black ‘invasion stripes’, as do the French C-47 Dakotas in the background.

Сирийский "Харвард" возвращается с боевого задания
Before Syria purchased Soviet bloc aircraft in the mid-1950s, combat aircraft invariably had olive green and light earth camouflage over their upper surfaces to help blend with the mainly Mediterranean-style countryside. The first Syrian combat aircraft were North American AT-6 Texans, such as this example.Самолёты на фотографии: North American T-6 Texan / AT-6 Harvard - США - 1935

The Royal Egyptian Air Force received its first Gloster Meteors late in 1949. Standing in front of an uncamouflaged Meteor F.4 following its delivery are, left to right, Fikri Zahir, Tahir Zaki, Salam Nofal and an unnamed, perhaps British, pilot. When the Suez crisis flared up, Tahir Zaki was in Syria helping train SAF pilots on Meteors, and he subsequently helped draw up the interception plan which resulted in the downing of the RAF Canberra.
