Final pic in the set, this of our break over the Kuching hardstanding. Again, apologies for the size and mods please cull at your discretion if bandwidth is a concern. Ian Allen's Aircraft Spotters Books at the ready? :-
Oh, having said that, this is a more reasonable size. No idea why....
Edited to add that the reason for all the various RAF aircraft being there was to prevent/deal with Indonesian incursions during Confrontation. The major threat was in Borneo, the main means of dealing with it being British (including the Ghurkhas) and Commonwealth troops. They were in isolated and potentially vulnerable encampments dotted along the border and supported by forward RAF/RN helicopter detachments. Our job was dropping to those troops food and POL stocks in the main. If they were under attack that switched to solely 105mm ammo, and the urgent need for it getting to them was then clear.
