I was at Tengah at that time. 60 and 64 operated Javelins, not always successfully! The word was that the Indonesian C130 dropped parachutists in the border area, and was shot down by a Javelin on the way out.The missile was a Firestreak; Sidewinders were not in use. The troops were cleaned up by Ghurkas apparently.
