64 Squadron taken at RAF Tengah in Singapore. Flown by my late father when taxing onto stand the starboard undercarriage collapsed. This is from a cutting from the RAF Air Clues magazine which my Dad added to his log book. ' After completing a normal landing in a Javelin the pilot shut down the port engine, set the starboard at 50% rpm and taxied to the dispersal area. As he turned the aircraft into dispersal, the starboard main undercarriage collapsed.' This is my Dad's comment on the back of this photo 'Taxing at 10kts one sunny day.........' To RAF 09Dec58 as an FAW7. SOC Tengah 01May1968.
