Cessna L-19A in RAF Service?


During some research which involved delving through some old Flight Magazine Archives I came across the above photograph.
The photograph was published in the Flight Magazine on the 12/12/1952. The caption to the photograph states "The aircraft is an American Cessna L-19A, but it bears British markings, it is flown by an Army pilot-Sgt J Hutchins D.F.M. of the Glider Pilot Regiment -and is carrying the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Roderick MsGregor GCB,DSO. As might be surmised from the presence of a US Army de Havilland Beaver in the background the picture was taken in Korea during the First Sea Lord's Far East tour"
I have been unable to confim the statement that the aircraft was in RAF Markings. Can anyone confirm that this aircraft was operated under RAF Markings?
