The book "Eastward, a History of the Royal Air Force in the Far East 1945-1972" gives an insight into what happened there in 1946. It seems that the word "mutiny" was, for diplomatic reasons, avoided but there was certainly widespread disaffection within the RAF with demonstrations at Mauripur,Negombo,Koggala,Colombo and Ratmalana. Later there were stoppages of work at Palam,DumDum,Poona,Cawnpore and Vizagapatan. Most were of short duration, orderly and respectful but,nevertheless, determined.To make matters worse the Royal Indian Air Force became infected.The disaffection then spread to Singapore.
The most vocal agitators were those who had been sent to the Far East after VJ day.
A certain LAC Cymbalist was court martialled - his prison sentence was later reduced to a nominal period.
Airmen on 194sqd. in Burma, stopped work on 29 Jan 1946. The sqd. was disbanded earlier than planned as a result.
There was a high level enquiry into the situation and, gradually, as the year went on,everything returned to normal.
It must have been a very disturbing time for all concerned.
