OP, you bemoaned the lack of pics surviving on the old Hastings thread so maybe you'd be interested in these (previously posted on the WWII Brevet thread). It was an impromptu formation fly past HQFEAF of all five aircraft present on the 48 Squadron line at Changi. The Boss had unwisely risen to the bait at a FEAF Guest Night and said they were all serviceable and that he could have them all airborne the following morning. The C in C thought that an excellent idea and looked forward to seeing them then. Hence when we turned up reporting bleary-eyed at 0900 (?) at the squadron, we were hurriedly briefed, transported to Western Dispersal, and flying past in formation within the hour.
