HEROD/SISEMAN,
Give him a break!
Transport Command became Air Support Command in 1967. During 1968 we still had 8 and 208 Sqns flying Hunters at RAF Muharraq (Bahrain). The painting is somewhat generic, but looks very like the RAF pan at Muharraq in 1968 when all the large AT types were regular visitors and the Argosies (ARDET) were a permanent detachment from RAF Benson.

PS. Definitely remember it being called the Moonrocket by the guys in the Middle East at the time.
