In the Pioneering spirit (sorry) let us not forget that 20 Sqn at Tengah acquired a handful (3-4) Single Pins for FAC work when their original operators <insert Sqn No.> disbanded at Seletar. Hunter mates who were already Op were offered the option to convert to type during the latter part of their tour.

This made 20 the last RAF fighter squadron to operate a single piston aircraft

I have a photo or 3, including one Fg Off P Sq***e getting his SP Op Pot at the Gemas jungle strip. Will scan and post on request.
