Yes they did, some were embargoed by the US in the 70s however.

Some people may remember this i was at LHR circa 1970 when 2 arrived in camo believe they were 113 and 115 on a medical collection flights. No camera in those days but remember seeing them from the Queens building rooftop . You never knew then what you might see on a day out.
