The Monsstar,

Thank you for the invaluable photographs of the involvement of the British Forces in the Indonesian Confrontation in mid 60s.

By the way, I have tried to download photographs in this forum without success. How should I do it?

Rizal, saving these photos may vary depending on which system you are using.  I am on Windows 7 and to save click on the file reference below the photo.  A window with a yellow border opens at the bottom of the screen with a "Save" option, click on the down arrow alongside "Save" and use the "Save As" option.  If you have any problems I can send them to you if you let me have an email address to send to.

I found the following information on the aircraft shown:

XP310 HR10 Whirlwind Was at Farnborough in 1962, it worked with 1Royal NewZealand Infantry in Borneo and perished at RAF Benson September 1976.  The reference I found refers to the Benson Fire Section so I suspect it was used for crash rescue practice.
XR480 HR10 Whirlwind of No 103 Squadron RAF strayed across the Borneo border and was shot down by Anti Aircraft fire on 17th November 1965, the remains of the aircraft and 2 crew were never found.
Twin Pioneer XL997 was scrapped in Singapore in October 1968.

I worked on HR10 Whirlwinds of the Central Flying School in 1962.

You may find more information on these aircraft if you search on "Aircraft" with the registration number of the aircraft.

Wendi,

Thanks. That is simple enough. Will try it out in a short while.

Oh! By the way, remember I was trying to help an ex British Army soldier based in Singapore? It was a no go. He was medically boarded out and his injury was attained when he was not on active duty.
