As mentioned above, some Hunters (I never found out how many) were funded under MDAP, but that did not stop them being used in the Middle East. However, come disposal time at the end of their RAF service, the funding source determined the countries to which they could be sold. The US vetoed sales of MDAP-funded aircraft to Latin America (and possibly elsewhere), so it was the UK-funded airframes that went there.
