IIRC East African Comm. Flight operated with one Valetta (VX 214) two Ansons (later replaced by two Pembrokes) and two Auster aircraft. CO was Fly Lt. Angus McVitie. One Helicopter was added to the unit for 'trials' and Army Co-op.Auster were used for Psyops (Aerial Broadcasts) and leaflet drops. these were not offensive operations though.
