Why Is the RAF Falcons Plane Canadian?

I recently saw this Dornier 228 which was carrying markings indicating it is used by the RAF’s parachute display team – The Falcons. I hadn’t seen the plane before, so it caught my eye. What left me a bit confused was its registration. It is on the Canadian registry. I have no idea why the RAF would need to use a Canadian registered plane. If anyone knows, please share the reasoning.
