Is this cover the earliest known example from RAF in Bahrain?

The cover sent via the Indian Bahrain post office, franked with 14 annas Indian stamps (All Up rate to England) cancelled with "BAHRAIN AIR / PERSIAN GULF", dated "31 July 1940".

Kahlid / anyone

Just so that I have identified the senders details correctly (handwriting is a bit difficult to read) I make it as:

Sqn Ldr R F Coates, (26 Sqn) RAF
Air (Transport ?) Officer
Bahrain
Persina Gulf
