Silly me! I was rushing as I had the dog to walk and then cook dinner under instruction from SWMBO, who is recovering from an operation. I was getting confused with the RMAF base, whose name now escapes me! On my visit there in Jan' 68 I just put KL in my log book! I've still to locate Patenga!
Additionally 48 Sqn was deployed to Kemajoran near Batavia, now Djakarta, in Feb 46. The RAF and British Army had a very tough time there holding on to Java until the return of the Dutch. Sadly we incurred hundreds of casualties, many of them men who would have hoped to return to UK following the end of the war with Japan.
Back again!
Petanga is near Chittagong in what is now Bangladesh
