Happy memories of arriving at Butterworth on detachment in June '68. As we staged out, our plotter had remarked modestly at each night stop and in the vicinity of various diversion airfields, "was posted here, was station nav there, etc, etc". Arriving in the overhead at Butterworth and preparing to turn downwind, our captain enquired "I suppose you've been here as well Jim?" "Well not actually. We had a look but decided not to land - the place was swarming withn Japanese." RIP Jim.
