Could be.
One of those FGA70A Hunters in Lebanon is the former FGA9 XJ644, which had been in store at Kemble until going back to HSA in early '75 for refurb for Lebanese AF, and another two of the FGA70A they have both went to Lebanese AF in Dec 75, having previously been ex-WW594 & ex-WW598, although I don't know where they came from, but could have been 2 of the ones at St.A?
