Further info from Ray Deacon's wonderfully informative RADFAN Hunters site.
On 9 September, the day after 1417 Flight’s disbandment, OC Strike Wing, Wg Cdr ‘Pancho’ Ramirez, 8 Squadron’s Fg Off Chris Bain and Flt Lt Wally Willman from 43 Squadron, ferried three ‘redundant’ FGA.9s, XG255, XG298 and XJ645 (or XG237), to Amman via Jeddah (with Dawsons Field as a diversionary should it have been needed), as replacements for Hunters lost during during the six-day war with Israel. Each aircraft was repainted in Jordanian colours before departure, including new serial numbers.
The unit allocation tables say XG255 and XG298 were transferred on 09-09-67 (XG237 and XJ645 are both listed as sold to HSA). 8/43 had a pooled fleet towards the end.
