During the Korean War a communist MiG15 defected at a joint BCOF/American base. It just joined all the American Sabres in the pattern and landed in turn - no one noticed. The pilot deliberately headed for the British side of the airfield - but the Americans sent armed troops to take him and the aircraft from the British and took the pilot and aircraft to their side, subsequently claiming publicly that he had defected to America. There was a British tower report of the whole incident.

Kimpo AFB was not a joint BCOF/USAF base.

There was at least one Australian squadron ( No. 77 I/F) there, as well as South Korean squadrons.

I was interested to stumble upon your thread about the JU88 that landed at RAF Lulsgate Bottom. Do you have any more information on this incident, please?

Kind regards
