This weird and rare Heliopolis product was planned for transfer to a civil owner in the Netherlands, but it was not registered as such. Eventually, the aircraft most probably returned to Egypt. It was flew in to Gilze on 14 June by an Egypt Air Force C-130H. The Gomhuria served the Egypt Air Force academy from 1957 to 2004.
