Hi guys,
One for the super slueths here.
Whilst sorting out some old photos today, I came across these two photos of a Belfast. There are also a couple of Valettas and Twin Pins in there as well. But, what’s the location?
I know that the photos were taken in the Far East in the mid-60’s, but that’s all I know. My first thought was Butterworth but looking again, I don’t think so. Labuan is another possibility. I think I remember that they were given to me in ’65 by a chap who had not long returned from there.
Can anyone help?
BR,
Laurie.

Laurie,
Definitely Labuan. A rare shot, usually only one Valetta in residence from Butterworth and the Belfast was a very rare visitor from UK. Twin Pins from 209 Squadron at Seletar.
Thanks for that. I never got to Lab so I can now update my record.

Just giving this a bump, hoping someone might recognise the location.
