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.

From my late fathers collection. My Dad was flying one of these aircraft. 50th Anniversary fly past of 64 Squadron Royal Air Force at RAF Tengah in Singapore back in July 1966. The squadron was equipped with Gloster Javelin FAW9R's. A year later the squadron disbanded and the Javelins were replaced in Singapore by Lightning F1's of 74 Squadron.

A photo from my Dad's collection when he was flying Gloster Javelin's with 64 Squadron. Dated 11 Oct 1963 I am not sure if he was flying one of these aircraft. What we have is a refueling sortie probably over the North Sea. The tanker is a Vickers Valiant BK1 XD820 of 90 Squadron based at RAF Honington in Suffolk. Being refuelled are 3 Gloster Javelin FAW9's of 64 Squadron based at RAF Binbrook in Lincolnshire. They are XH709 / K, XH708 / P and an aircraft coded G.

At date of posting still parked near the control tower, slowly deteriorating. This was the only occasion when it was moved to be placed on static display at the airshow.

Far away from home.

Stripped to a shell prior to rebuild to flying condition.

On arrival for the airshow with ZF269 (special colours) and ZF374, both with Queen's Diamond Jubilee 1952-2012 markings.
