I think one of them must have filtered south to Southern Rhodesia. There was one based at the Mount Hampden Flying Club in 1965.

The RAF ones were used in the Middle East. For example, FL653 was with the Aden Com Flt. FL659 - FL670 were lost at sea on the way to the Middle East. FZ428 - FZ439 also served in the Middle East.
