Danny, I've learned far more about the Indonesian Confrontation against Malaysia in Borneo, Malaya, and Singapore, than I ever did by being there in the mid 60's, simply by trawling the internet and by belonging to the RAF Historical Society.
Which allows me a shameless plug for the Society. The subscription (presently £18 pa) gets you three bound books per year of the Society's various presentations, plus the opportunity to attend a symposium at RAFM Hendon, and the Society AGM at the RAF Club, which includes a presentation by a guest speaker.
I'm off to Hendon on the 21st October to learn all about "Aspects of RAF Maritime Air Since WWII" a bargain at £20 all in, including coffee, a buffet lunch, and a glass of wine:-

Don't tell anyone though, it's supposed to be a secret...
