I took a peek at Hockham's link to the RAF Museum. Seems there's more to the old Belfast than meets the eye.

Apr 70. XR371 and four other Belfasts participated in exercise Bersatu Pardu, the biggest airlift exercise ever undertaken by Air Support Command, flying return flights between Brize Norton and Singapore. Named Enceladus in keeping with the naming of each aircraft after a giant.

The pilot’s logbooks of F/L Graham Humberstone record a number of flights during this period. Copy on file with Aircraft Department.

15 Apr 1970 2.20-hour flight, Changi-Gan.


Changi - Gan 1,852 nautical. Maybe he meant days.
