Nice little film Buster, thank you. I was a 48 Sqn Hastings Co-Pilot (based at RAF Changi, Singapore) and remember when the 60 Sqn Javelins took to escorting our supply dropping sorties in Borneo. We asked them at Kuching before setting off what would happen if an Indonesian Mustang (their fighter at the time) jumped us while we were dropping to a DZ. Will you shoot it down? "With the Firestreaks we're just as likely to shoot you down!". Oh dear, what should we do then? "how low can you fly?". Well just above the tree canopy if need be. "how slow can you fly?". About a 100kts if we run out some flap. "How tight can you turn?". Pretty tight if we've already run out the flap. "Then do all three together and hope that we can get him before he gets you!". Not the most reassuring briefing I've received but no doubt a fairly realistic one. Mercifully the drops went as tasked and we returned to Kuching with the Javelin in formation on our starboard wingtip for a run in and break on arrival. I've got some pics of it but the site I posted them on for downloading froze my account.
You'll notice the nose high attitude of the Javelin in formation on the Hastings in the video. No doubt the Hastings was going flat out as we were. Nonetheless I remember reporting to my captain that the Jav's pilot was frantically pumping his fist up and down for yet more speed from us.
