so this would standart camo for RAF in Dhimar after World war two?

Maybe.

 

If the SAS were using 'Desert Pink' in WW2 and the RAF used it in 1991 then perhaps an emergency deployment to Dhimar in 1961 would have seen such a scheme. In reality, RAF Hunters were urgently deployed to the Middle East in 1961 but in response to the Kuwait crisis. Rather boringly they stayed in standard camo.
