Most JWTZ DHC-4s received this camouflage pattern in grey and two shades of green during the Uganda-Tanzania War. This was necessary because of their frequent flights into the combat zone, during which they were hauling not only troop reinforcements, but often fuel and ammunition. Despite a high degree of satisfaction with the type, the Tanzanians had sold all of their DHC-4s by the end of 1979. (Tom Cooper)
