Question about immediate postwar Jordan

Dear All,

 

I am considering a diorama and was wondering, what types of aircraft would one encounter in the Trans Jordan and Jordan in the immediate years following WW2? I know that the Jordanians received Vampires in   1950 but cannot find a photo or description of their air stations c1945-1950.  Were their French aircraft in the region? Perhaps except-RAF Tiger Moths and Protors? What about visiting transports from Italy, Greece and Egypt?  Thank you in advance for your information and suggestions.

The few aircrafts used by the Arab Legion were communications and transport aircrafts, Tiger Moths, Dragon Rapides, Proctors and Austers.

My sources mention as late 1955 as the date for the arrival of the first Jordanian Vampires, but RAF Vampires first used a couple of Jordanian bases as part of temporary deployments in 1950
