Probably spare paint from the Andover days and to hide it on the dump . In the Flying Training colours the wrecks stood out like sore thumbs !
I can remember the prototype Valetta T.3 VX564 on the dump near the North Airfield married quarters at RAF Cranwell circa 1967. There were complaints so it was resprayed a dull green to blend in with the countryside until taken away.
