Hi Steve.
Many SAAF pilots flew with the RAF without ever having been in the MTO.
As south africa was part of the Empire Traing Scheme, there was a period where there were to many pilots trained, so many went to the europian theatre, as well as the Far east and served in SAAF Sqdns.
They kept their SAAF identity and often one sees group photos with brown aps and Uniforms in a sea of blue.
Hope it helps
