Jeep M38A1 in RAF

Does anybody know if RAF has used this version? If yes, can you attach a photo? I own a well-preserved ex Swiss army piece and I would like to do it in aircraft marking.

 

By the time M38 Jeeps were in use, Britain was working on the home produced Austin Champ and Land Rover. There may have been odd local use due to supply issues but as a rule the answer is no. Sorry.

How about RAAF in Vietnam??
