lol..whenever I saw RAAF or RAF aircrew serving in a tropical weather, mainly in Malaysia in those golden day they always wear short only. Nowadays, I'll think the RMAF aircrew are not allowed to wear like that, they must wear a uniform or overall or some what....hmm
Awesome aircraft in it's day ,rummer has it the jav could find a penny in the fog ,Just how much of that is truth i don't know And was supposedly under powered .
copewood 333 is right about the 64Sqn. bonedome,but the tail markings are definitely 60SqnI was on 60 at Tengah 1961-64,and visited Butterworth on a number of occasions.I remember once when some of the Aussie Sabres slid off the runway after a tropical storm.I also did the aerobatic display with my nav.Colin Edwards.on their open day.
Thought he was my dad! John Foley, spotty faced Pilot Officer 60 Sqn B'worth. Now almost a pensioner, is Bert well? I also have a photo of Daves little blonde son just to embarass him
Hi Jandenmar. Thanks for your response. I have some photos of the sqn on detachment to Cyprus in 58.
as this all may not be of interest to most people i'd like to take it off the youtube thread. my email is hilpet@hotmal.com.. Pse contact me there and we may be able to take it further
We are making a documentary on service men and women on this base during late 50s, 60s and early 70s. Does anyone have any films of the base we could use.
60 squadron Javelins (based at Tengah) on detachment to Butterworth. My Dad (Lez Arthur) was there between '61 and '64 and probably flew these very aircraft at some time.
I really wish there was an example of the 'flat iron' flying today. Your other 'Mission66 Outcuts' film is superb as well - thank you so much for sharing them both with us!

very nice video! Can see the Javelin fly past Penang harbour at the background. Well..I love
British jets but unfortunate that I born in 1964 and off course I won't be able to have a glimpse
on this jet passing by from Tengah to Butterworth vic-versa at all. I'm sure those day have a
lots of activity in the sky in Malaysia. But I did saw a coupe of Mirage IIIO of the RAAF passing by Kuala Lumpur in 70s, by the way I'm a Malaysia!.

Harmonious dragmaster. RAF missed out by rejecting the DH.110. Instead they got this POS. What was Gloster thinking?

Interesting to see the aircrew 'bonedome' bears 64 Squadron markings but the Javelin tail markings look like 33 Squadron?

Absolutely fascinating and evocative - even if it was made months before I was born!
An important movie record of the Javelin, probably rare in itself.
