early F4 deployments

I think ( well before my time) 6 Squadron deployed the FGR2 to The Far East - Singapore - again from memory the Lightnings of 74 Squadron had pulled out and it was to show the RAF could still deploy to the NEAF with the new F4 and tanker support - I recall the NRL on my 1st F4 Sqn was ex 6 Sqn and he spoke of it - again I think some of the sorties were pretty long and limited either by O2 supplies or it could have been engine oil usage - Not 100% sure
