was there ever a crashed landedJavelin left behind at Tengah somewhere at one end of the runway? Because I have seem one 30+ years ago while still a kid and living beside the airbase. - From Singapore
Looks like 60 Squadron again in the taxi-ing shots.
The Javelin "was withdrawn from service in 1968 with the disbandment of 60 Squadron at RAF Tengah at the end of April 1968" so this must be some of the last film of this fabulous aircraft in regular service action.
Both sqdns flew Venom FB1 & 4 ten yrs earlier with 14 re-equipping with Canberra B1. Was 60 still on the far end of the jap strip or had they moved to the old 1 sqdn RAAF disperal alongside 14 in front of the hangars ? p.s. now live in France where I've found that a hangar is a barn - shades of WW1.

Glad you liked them. It is indeed 60 Squadron and I took the footage in 1968. I was on 14 Squadron RNZAF at the time.
