Butterworth on the Malay mainland, just opposite Penang island was the RAAF base which had 2 Sqdn's Canberra B20s, alongside the Sabre sqdns.
I mainly saw and photographed the Canberras passing through RAF Changi in the 60s but here's a shot taken from a taxying Valetta showing the 2 Sqdn Canberras with their silver and white colourscheme.

It was taken in August 1962.
Later of course many of these RAAF aircraft took part in the Vietnam war where there 'low level bombing' techniques were particularly successful.
