The notes I have (courtesy of the late Geoff Ambrose) confirm WP850's camouflage scheme; is the inference though that it was delivered to 114 Sqn already camouflaged? Silver overall with yellow bands certainly isn't appropriate for a tactical reconnaissance aircraft!

to 114 Squadron Nicosia 10/12/1958 coded B delivered that day by Beverley [Air 27/2758]; camouflaged grey/green; to 103 MU Akrotiri 18/3/1959; issued to UK 17/2/1961; to 27 MU Shawbury 24/3/1961 work completed 11/1964 [Air 29/4030]; to Honington SF 1/1/1965 for 90 Squadron pilots to”keep hand in” while their Valiants were grounded-a/c was still
